What it is:
Chocolate Chin-Chin is a crunchy, sweet snack made from dough cut into small squares or strips, deep-fried, and coated or infused with chocolate. A creative twist on the traditional Nigerian chin-chin, this version is especially appealing for international markets where chocolate-based snacks are widely loved. It combines the crunchiness of chin-chin with the rich flavor of cocoa.
