1. Korean Sweet Cakes
Light and flaky 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.
2. Azuki Bean Rice Ball Snacks (injulmi rice ball)
Azuki Bean rice ball snacks are a quintessentially Korean alternative to Cheetos puffs – light, fluffy, and full of crunch, these snacks are full of flavor and are hard to stop eating. Rather than the salty, cheesy flavor of Cheetos, however, these puffs are slightly sweet and have a unique flavor reminiscent of peanut butter.
3. Kkokkalcorn
Remember bugles, the delicious cone-shaped snacks that are best eaten after you put one on each finger 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.
4. Pepero
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.
5. Pumpkin Monaca
Light and fluffy on the outside, these rice-based biscuits are filled 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.
