Smoki consists mainly of puffed cornmeal grits, peanut flavoring and salt. Similar foods in other countries consist of Bamba in Israel and Erdnussflips in Germany and Austria.
Its popularity (especially throughout the former Yugoslavia) is such that the name Smoki has become synonymous with any puffed corn snack (also known in these countries as ''flips'').<ref name="Superbrands"/>
In September 2006, a chocolate-covered brand of Smoki were released, known as Čoko Smoki with the tagline of ''Happy End''. It also came with flavours of orange and caramel. In 2023, Štark released a version of Smoki with both chocolate and peanut butter filling inside, called Smoki Wow.<ref>{{Cite web |last= |title=Smoki WOW |url=https://smoki.rs/en/brand/smoki-wow/ |access-date=2024-07-14 |website=From the official website |language=en-US}}</ref>
