About Plazma chocolate sticks
Plazma Chocolate Sticks are a popular snack originating from Serbia, blending the classic, crumbly taste of Plazma biscuits with a rich chocolate coating. Often enjoyed in Balkan cuisine, they offer a quick treat suitable for various occasions. These sticks are high in carbohydrates, primarily due to the biscuits and added sugars, and contain moderate amounts of fats from the chocolate coating. While they provide quick energy, their micronutrient content is limited, mostly delivering small amounts of calcium and iron from enriched flour. They are an indulgent food intended for occasional enjoyment rather than a primary source of nutrition.
