Now that we don't live in Japan anymore, I had been hoping to surprise her by importing some, but I don't know the name of it and was helping someone would be kind enough to help me out.
These sweets come in a brown pack with gold lettering (from memory there were about 20-24 in a pack). They are long (about the length of a pen) and thick (about 2cms). They are quite light. I'm not 100% percent sure about what the ingredient inside is, it's very light and airy, but they are covered in chocolate.
Apologies for such a vague description, but if anyone could help me out, I would really really appreciate it!

Pocky sticks couldn't be 2-cm think by any rough estimate.
The only thing I can think of that would fit OP's description is Choco-Bo. A few companies manufacture similar products and they have their own names. The big 30-pack in the pic below is by Riska. The inside is basically puffed corn and is very light in weight and texture.
