Sanrio announced that the company’s characters will appear on Morinaga Chocoball candy boxes alongside the company’s mascot Kyorochan. Four varieties will be available. These are available in Japan now. It’s unknown if we’ll also see them in Asian grocery stores worldwide, bu Morinaga products can be found worldwide in-stores and on sites like Amazon and Japan Candy Store.

The four flavors that are part of this Sanrio Chocoball crossover involve three standard ones and a limited edition one, and there is a different character on each package. The flavor temporarily available is Hokkaido Milk, and Cinnamoroll is on that box. In each case, the one that appears wears a baseball cap that looks like Kyorochan’s face and a red bowtie that matches the bird’s. 

Here’s the full list of all four options:

  • Cinnamoroll is on the Hokkaido Milk Chocoball box.
  • My Melody is on the Strawberry Chocoball box.
  • Pochacco is on the Caramel Chocoball box. 
  • Pompompurin is on the Peanut Chocoball box.

Here’s the official art showing all four boxes and candies. 

One of the last collaborations that involved Sanrio characters and candy was one with Fujiya. That featured six mascots holding chocolate lollipops that looked like them. 

The Morinaga Chocoball boxes with Sanrio characters dressed as Kyorochan on them are available now in Japan, and it is unknown if we could see the collaboration candy in Asian grocery stores and online storefronts worldwide.
