Korean Snacks
From: Korean Snacks: 24 You Must Try!

What does watching a movie, waiting for a dinner

reservation, and studying the Korean language have in
common? All three activities become way more enjoyable
when you incorporate snacks into the mix!

Snacks are one of the essential pleasures of life, and as

you’re studying the Korea language and learning more
about Korean culture I’m sure you’re wondering what
Korea has to offer the snack world.

Korean snacks are like nothing you’ve experienced before

– Koreans take snacking very seriously, and have come up
with some of the tastiest treats under the sun. Read on for
a list of Korean snacks you have to try immediately, and
try not to get too hungry as you’re reading!

We provide the Korean names of the sweets in this article

in the Korean Hangeul. If you can’t read Hangeul it is
possible to learn Hangeul in just ninety minutes, so what
are you waiting for.

Korean Snack #1: Orion Choco Pie ( 오리온 초코파

이)
This is one of the most famous of all Korean snacks. It’s pretty
much impossible to meet a Korean who doesn’t know about
choco pies. They’re an integral part of Korean society, similar
to a national symbol. 
There are several different brands, but Orion is the go-to for
most people. It’s a yellow sponge cake with marshmallow on
the inside, and chocolate on the outside. They come in different
size boxes, from 2 choco pies up to 60. Be warned: They are
so delicious that once you start eating them, it’s dif cult to not
eat the entire box!
You would like these if you like: marshmallows and chocolate
pie

Korean Snack #2: Azuki Bean Rice Ball Snacks

(injulmi rice ball)

Are you a fan of Cheetos? Yeah, we thought so. Azuki Bean

rice ball snacks are a quintessentially Korean alternative to
Cheetos puffs – light, uffy, and full of crunch, these snacks are
full of avor and are hard to stop eating. Rather than the
salty, cheesy avor of Cheetos, however, these puffs are
slightly sweet and have a unique avor reminiscent of peanut
butter. Give these a try you need a snack that will give you a
satisfying crunch and a ton of avor.
You would like these if you like: those peanut butter crunch
cookies by Keebler you ate as a kid

Korean Snack #3: Kkokkalcorn ( 꼬깔콘)

Remember bugles, the delicious cone-shaped snacks that
are best eaten after you put one on each nger and
pretending they’re really claws? You’re in for a treat!
Koreans have their very own cone-shaped corn snack
called kkokkalcorn, and they are just as satisfying (and
fun) as bugles. Pick up a bag the next time you need some
help procrastinating, load up your ngers, and have some
fun while snacking!
You would like these if you like: bugles, distractions, being
silly

Korean Snack #4: Pepero ( 빼빼로)

Have you ever loved a snack so much that you thought it
deserved its own holiday? Well, that’s how Koreans feel
about Pepero, because it DOES have its own holiday.
These delicious chocolate-covered sticks are a Korean
favorite, and rightfully so. There are tons of varieties
incorporating milk chocolate, white chocolate, sprinkles,
peanut butter – what more could you possibly ask for in a
snack? Give Pepero a try the next time you’re in the mood
for an easy-to eat dessert and you’ll see what all the fuss
is about.
You would like these if you like: anything dipped in
chocolate

Korean Snack #5: Chocolate Corns

We’ve got another option for the Cheetos lovers reading this
post – Korean chocolate corns are pretty much a chocolate
version of traditional cheese puffs. Sweeter than the Azuki
Bean rice ball snacks above, these corn puffs are perfect for
chocolate lovers who won’t settle for anything less than true
indulgence. Pair these up with some Pepero for an unbeatable
chocolate feast!
You would like these if you like: anything and everything
chocolate

Korean Snack #6: Lotte’s Kancho Choco Biscuits

These light and aky chocolate- lled cookies are a dream

come true for any dessert lover. There’s just a hint of milk
chocolate inside so they’re not super rich, and they’re tiny
enough that you can pop one (or six…) in your mouth and eat
them on the go.
They also have adorable pictures printed on each individual
cookie, so this snack serves as a great pick me up if you’re
stress eating and need to cheer yourself up. Pick up a box the
next time you’re in the mood for a dessert that is quick, easy,
and is guaranteed to make you smile.
You would like these if you like: Milano sandwich cookies,
happiness

Korean Snack #7: Dried Squid ( 해오징어)

Alright, hear me out. Dried squid as a snack? I know it
probably sounds a little outlandish, but this delicious seafood
snack is similar to beef jerky in texture and is utterly delicious if
you enjoy squid in its other variations. Like beef jerky, the
texture takes a little getting used to, but this snack is perfect if
you want to munch on something salty but need something
more substantial (and full of protein) than chips and rice
snacks. Take a walk on the wild side and pick up some dried
squid – you’ll be converted after your rst bite!
You would like this if you like: calamari, beef jerky

Korean Snack #8: Honey Butter Chips ( 허니버터

칩)
Honey butter chips have taken Korean by storm: since their
release, the chips have been sold out nearly everywhere, and
when they’re in stock people buy them by the box to make
sure they don’t run out right away!
If you do happen to stumble upon a bag of honey butter chips
in the wild, be sure to snatch them up – these chips are
insanely delicious, and popular enough that celebrities have
exclusive bags sent directly to them to advertise and post
sel es with. Let the hunt begin!
You would like these if you like: we don’t even know, because
we haven’t been able to nd a bag! Presumably, honey butter.

Korean Snack #9: Lotte Ghana Milk Chocolate

As a chocolate lover, I’m a rm believer that sometimes, there’s no better

snack than straight up milk chocolate. If you’re also a believer in the magical
properties of chocolate, look no further – Lotte Ghana is one of the most
popular brands of chocolate in Korea, and for good reason! Chocolate didn’t
become big in Korea until the mid-twentieth century when it was introduced
via the Westerners that were posted up for the Korean War. Lotte introduced
Ghana milk chocolate to the world in the mid 1970’s, and the rest is history!
The reason Ghana is so popular (aside from being delicious) is the all the love
that is put into the chocolate-making technique – rather than just slapping
together some subpar chocolate, Lotte developed a micro-grinding technique
that breaks the particles in the chocolate down to tiny pieces, resulting in a
smooth and delicious chocolate bar. Give it a try for yourself and see what all
the fuss is about!
You would like these if you like: good old-fashioned chocolate, with an
emphasis on the ‘good’

Korean Snack #10: Crab Chips ( 꽃게스낵)

Whether it’s chilled, grilled, or shaped into a cake, I think we can all agree
that crab is amazing in all of its many forms. That being said, of course crab
chips are delicious – who wouldn’t love a snack that focuses on the crunchy,
fried goodness of a chip as well as the salty and slightly sweet avor pro le
of crab?
Slightly sweeter than shrimp snacks, crab chips are more reminiscent of Old
Bay than straight up salty seafood, and you will de nitely pick up on some
interesting avor notes while you’re enjoying this snack. You should be
warned, though – if you eat one, there’s no way that you’ll be able to stay
away from the rest of the bag. Pick up a bag of crab chips the next time
you’re craving a crunch that packs a avor punch, and don’t be ashamed if
you nish the entire bag in one sitting! It’s an achievement that sets serious
snackers apart from the rest.
You would like this if you like: snacking on chilled crab cocktail just as much
as you like putting back a bag of potato chips by yourself. No shame!

Korean Snack #11: Pumpkin Monaca ( 호박모나카)

It’s that time of year again… the weather is getting cooler, the days are
getting shorter, and you’re about to be slapped in the face with
pumpkin avor taking over a wide variety of food, drinks, and candles.
If you happily jump on the pumpkin train every fall, then this is the
snack for you!
Light and uffy on the outside, these rice-based biscuits are lled with
a thick and sweet pumpkin center. They’re so sweet, in fact, that they
come individually wrapped – probably to deter you from eating more
than one or two in a sitting. Don’t let a snack company tell you how to
live your life, though! Embrace the pumpkin love and dig into a bag of
these snacks while you enjoy the shift in seasons. I personally
recommend eating these while sitting on a park bench amidst a bunch
of orange leaves, but whatever oats your boat.
You would like these if you like: pumpkin spice lattes, jumping in piles of
leaves

Korean Snack #12: Pepero White Cookie Sticks

I’ve already shared with you one of the most famous Korean snacks,
Pepero – if you’re a fan of classic Pepero, you MUST try the Pepero
white cookie sticks. Reminiscent of Hershey’s cookies and cream
snacks that are super popular in the Western world, these Pepero
snacks are coated in white chocolate and chocolate cookie pieces, so
they have a bit more texture than classic, chocolate-dipped Pepero.
The white chocolate is also a bit sweeter than the milk chocolate
coating that they use, so be prepared for a sweet treat the next time
you’re snacking on these! Pick up a pack of white cookie sticks the next
time you’re out and about and looking for an easy-to-eat dessert.
You would like these if you like: Oreos, or anything cookies and cream
avored

Korean Snack #13: Lotte’s Happy Promise

Custard Cakes

How can you not love a snack with ‘happy promise’ in the name?
Lotte’s Happy Promise custard cakes are exactly as delightful as they
sound – they feature a light and uffy sponge cake lled with rich and
sweet custard, so they’ll ll you up and satisfy your sweet tooth at the
same time. These cakes are versatile, and they’re perfect as a
breakfast treat or an end of the day dessert indulgence. Pick up some
Happy Promise custard cakes and treat yourself – you deserve it!
You would like this if you like: any type of Little Debbie’s snack cakes

Korean Snack #14: Orion Dr. You Original Diget

These snacks are deceptively delicious. On the package, you get the
words "Dr. You", "whole wheat", and "digestive biscuit." It must be
something healthy with little taste, right?
Then you get hit with a surprise--these things are tasty! It's just the
right mix of avor and crunchiness, all mixed into a relatively healthy
treat. 
If you really want to amp up your biscuit game, then try out the
chocolate covered version, on the left in the picture above. 
Pick up a pack of these treats the next time you're in a snacking mood
and want to feel good after indulging – you’ll thank me later.
You will like this snack if you like: biscuits or wheat thins.

Korean Snack #15: Ace Chocolato

Have you ever had one of those moments when you can’t
decide between snacking on something sweet and snacking on
something with a little more substance? The next time you nd
yourself in that predicament, pick up a pack of Ace Chocolato.
This snack combines a classic aky cracker with sweet, creamy
milk chocolate so it does the trick whether you’re craving dessert
or something starchy. Also, as an added bonus, the milk
chocolate is in the shape of a mountain — how cool is that?!
You will like this snack if you like: crackers, chocolate, and being
indecisive about the type of snack you’re in the mood for

Korean Snack #16: Custard (Sweet Gold )

SnackFever has done it again with sweet gold, a sweet potato

based custard treat that will leave you reaching for another as
soon as you’re done. We’re not sure if it’s the delicious, pillowy
sweet potato pie or the dense and decadent custard lling, but
there is something about this snack that we just can’t get
enough of. SnackFever is responsible for producing a bunch of
the tastiest Korean snacks, and this is no exception!
The best (or worst) part about this snack is that they typically
come in a box of twelve, so if you pick up a box you’ll be set with
delicious snacks for a while. That does rely on you having
dessert self-control though, which is not something we can say
for ourselves.
You will like this snack if you like: pumpkin pie — the taste is
very reminiscent of this popular dessert

Korean Snack #17: Goguma Kkang

Sweet potato fries are all the rage right now — something about combining
the incredible experience of eating crisp, freshly cooked french fries with a
super healthy vegetable like the sweet potato is not only delicious, but also
makes you feel less guilty for eating fries in the rst place.
That being said, there will be times when you need a snack but can’t slip out
to track down freshly fried sweet potatoes. Fear not! Goguma kkang is here
to save the day. These delicious sweet potato chips are exactly as delicious as
they sound — they’re slightly salted and seasoned and feature the distinct
avor of sweet potato as well as a crunch that will satisfy your snack craving
in no time.
Keep a bag of goguma kkang on hand the next time you have a busy day at
work or school so you’re ready with a delicious snack that can tide you over
until you break away. This snack has also been around way longer than the
sweet potato fry trend, so it won’t be dif cult to nd when you’re in Korea.
You will like this snack if you like: sweet potato fries, snacks that toe the
savory/sweet line

Korean Snack #18: Korean Sweet Cakes ( 찹쌀약

과)
As I’m sure you’re aware, all of the most delicious snacks in life are full of
some form of sugar, our, or oil. We’re excited to inform you that Korean
sweet cakes are full of all three of those delicious ingredients!
Light and aky in texture, Korean sweet cakes are a great alternative to
traditional cookies and candies if you’re in the mood for something quick and
sweet. They’re also an extremely affordable dessert option, and you can nd
them pretty much anywhere. Pick up a pack of these sweet cakes the next
time you need to get your blood sugar up while you’re on the go! You won’t
be disappointed.
You would like these if you like: vanilla wafers

Korean Snack #19: Premium Ghana Chocolate

As you know by now, Ghana chocolate is a huge phenomenon in Korea

amongst chocolate lovers — its creamy, sweet taste truly cannot be beat.
However, there’s a time and a place for eating a huge candy bar, and
sometimes you’re in the mood for a dessert that’s a little less of a
commitment.
If you nd yourself in the mood for a quick dessert to satisfy your sweet tooth
that doesn’t require you to purchase a whole chocolate bar, consider picking
up some Premium Ghana Chocolate. This chocolate is bite-sized and
individually wrapped, so it’s a perfect mini dessert that you can enjoy day
after day.
This chocolate also makes a great gift due to its lovely box, so if there’s
someone special in your life that you’d like to show some appreciation to, get
them Ghana! Chocolate is one of the many languages of love, after all.
You will like this snack if you like: Hershey’s kisses

Korean Snack #20: Shindangdong Tteokbokki

Chips

If you’ve had the pleasure of exploring Korea, then chances are you’re
already well acquainted with the beauty (and, occasionally, curiosity) that is
Korean street food. One of the biggest crowd pleasers when it comes to
Korean street food is tteokbokki, which is a dish featuring stir-fried rice cakes
with chili paste and other avors ranging from sh cakes to egg.
Tteokbokki is absolutely delicious — something about the texture of the rice
cakes with the avor of the sauce used in the stir fry makes it dif cult to stay
away from. These tteokbokki chips are perfect if you’re craving tteokbokki
but can’t break away from your desk or if you don’t feel like leaving your
house.
The avors you’ll nd in the street food version of tteokbokki really come
through in the chips, making this snack a must-have for any street food
lover’s pantry.
You will like this snack if you like: spice and Korean street food, or aming hot
Cheetos

Korean Snack #21: Seaweed Crisps

Seaweed is another food that has been on the international stage lately as a
trendy menu item. Well known for its superfood properties that make it full
of nutrients, seaweed is incredibly versatile and can be incorporated into a
huge variety of meals and snacks.
These Seaweed Crisps highlight all of the best parts of seaweed — its light,
crisp texture when dried, its savory pro le, and the health bene ts that come
with its consumption. They also come in a variety of delicious avors, so
there’s something for every snack lover. Give the ‘Korean BBQ’ avor a try
the next time you see it in a store — the combination of Korean barbecue
spice with seaweed’s distinct texture and avor notes make it dif cult to put
down!
You will like this snack if you like: feeling good about yourself while you’re
snacking. Yay, seaweed!

Korean Snack #22: Korean Waffle Mate

What makes a perfect mid-morning snack? Something light and tasty that
pairs perfectly with your cup of coffee, of course! Look no further — Korean
Waf e Mate is a glorious snack that goes perfectly with a hot cup of coffee.
These aky biscuits have a very slight sweetness because they’re made with
honey, and if you dip them in your morning coffee they become so soft that
they’ll dissolve in your mouth.
This snack is also perfect for an early day craving because it’s light enough
that if you’ve had a large breakfast (or if you have a large lunch coming up),
it’ll satisfy your snack craving without making you too full or ruining your
appetite. Also, although we’ve been singing the praises of waf e mate paired
with a hot beverage, they’re also fantastic on their own so don’t be
discouraged if you don’t have a cup of coffee handy.
Incorporate waf e mate into your morning routine and start the day off right!
You will like this snack if you like: those little Madeline cookies that are great
paired with coffee

Korean Snack #23: Lotte Anytime Milk Mint

These are really something special. It has a combination of avors that are
truly dif cult to describe but the closest would be to call it a mint covered in a
thick delicious milk coating.
This snack is great if you’re worried about your breath but not a huge fan of
overpowering mints. The mints in these are a very “cool” and the sweet milk
coating eases you into the minty center. Or if you don’t have the patience for
that then you can start munching on them right away and be bombarded by
the instant mint freshness mixed with the sugary coating.
There’s not many places you can nd mints like these so they’re certainly
worth trying! Check out all the different avors available.
You will like this snack if you like: mints and sweet candies

Korean Snack #24: Vegetable Crackers

Before the word “vegetable” scares you away, let us tell you a thing or two
about this delicious Korean snack. Vegetable crackers are intriguing — rst of
all, their name is about as straightforward as you can get. These are
absolutely crackers infused with a variety of vegetable avoring. However,
that being said, there’s something absolutely delicious about the buttery
texture of the crackers and the slightly savory and relatively faint taste of
vegetable ranging from bell peppers to carrots to scallions.
These crackers also don’t look like they should necessarily be vegetable
crackers — in appearance, they look like ritz crackers, and you wouldn’t
know that they have a delectable vegetable kick until you’ve already bitten
into one.
If you’re looking for a savory snack that will satisfy you, Vegetable Crackers
should de nitely be on your radar, whether for their addictive texture or their
great taste. Pick up a box for your cupboard the next time you’re out and
about and see what all of the fuss is about!
You will like this snack if you like: buttery crackers or wafers
