Top 20 Korean snacks you can eat in convenient store in Korea

Korea has such a huge market for sweets and snacks. Although Korean snacks are not as well known to the world as American snacks, they have very good reputation for having very nice taste among foreigners. Here are top 20 Korean snacks I choose.

1. Orion Choco Pie (오리온 초코파이)

초코파이 is the most famous and one of the oldest commercial snacks in Korea. 초코파이 is comprised of bread, marshmallow, and chocolate cover.

2. JaYuShiGan (자유시간)

자유시간 is one of the most best selling chocolate bars in Korea. What's different with 'SNICKERS' is that 자유시간 doesn't have hard almond in the chocolate bar. 자유시간 is very chewy and the chocolate percentage is just perfect.


3. Oh yes (오예스)
오예스 is one kind of 초코파이(Chocolate pie). But it has very different taste. While 초코파이 is hard on the outside and soft in the inside, 오예쓰 is basically soft. Also it doesn't have marshmallow part unlike 초코파이. Though it seems like it lacks many parts compared to 초코파이, it is very delicious. 오예스 is my favorite kind of 초코파이.

4. SaeWuGgang (새우깡)
새우깡 is also one of the oldest commercial snacks in Korea. Although you might think that the shrimp would taste bad, 새우깡 doesn't really taste shrimp. All ages, gender people like 새우깡 in Korea.

5. GgoGgalCone (꼬깔콘)
꼬깔콘 is named by it's shape. 꼬깔콘 is shaped like 꼬깔(GgoGgal) which means monk's hat. Many people put each 꼬깔 on each of their finger and eat them.

6. Homerun ball (홈런볼)
홈런볼 which means 'homerun ball' in Korean is soft ball shape snack with chocolate in the inside. It's very soft so young children like eating 홈런볼.

7. YangPa ring (양파링)
This is 양파링. As 새우깡(SaeWuGgang), you may think that it would taste bad because of 'onion'. However, so did 새우깡(SaeWuGgang), 양파링 doesn't really taste like onion. This is one of my favorite snack in Korea.

8. OhGeingEhuChip (오징어칩)
I have to repeat this again but unlike the name 오징어칩 suggests, it doesn't taste like squid. However it tastes very good.

9. ChocoHime (초코하임)
This is 초코하임. I think most foreigners would not feel exotic with this snack. This snack is composed of hard crunchy part on the outside and chocolate in the inside. This is very delicious.

10. Big Pie (빅파이)
This is 빅파이. 빅파이 has a little crunchy chocolate on the outside and strawberry in the inside. This is one of the best selling 초코파이(Chocolate pie) in Korea.

11. Ott (오뜨)
This is 오뜨. 오뜨 is basically long brownie with chocolate lines on the top. There is also cheesecake version of 오뜨 as well.

12. GuelKgwaBaeGi (꿀꽈배기)
This is 꿀꽈배기. 꿀 means honey and 꽈배기 means twisted bread stick. However, this snack has nothing to do with bread. This is basically twisted cracker stick with honey.

13. JoRiPong (죠리퐁)
This is 죠리퐁. 죠리퐁 is made of fried wheat corn covered with sugar. This is also one of oldest commercial snacks in Korea.

14. SwingChip (스윙칩)
This is 스윙칩. 스윙칩 is a kind of potato chip sold in Korea. This potato chip has flavor of fried red chili paste. This is second best selling potato chip in Korea after 포카칩(PocaChip).

15. ConeCho (콘쵸)
This is 콘쵸. 콘쵸 is composed of very soft part and chocolate glaze on the outside.

16. ChocoSongi (초코송이)
This is 초코송이. 초코송이 was made to have shape of mushroom. The head part of mushroom shaped 초코송이 is chocolate and the body part is cracker.

17. YeGam (예감)
This is also a kind of potato chip in Korea. This may be harder than any other potato chips you've ever had. However it is not as hard as inedible. You would feel why this kind of potato chip is sold well when you eat it.

18. ChalDdeok Pie (찰떡파이)
This is 찰떡파이. 찰떡파이 is composed of glutinous rice cake in the inside and chocolate on the outside. This is also one of the best selling chocolate pie in Korea but this choco pie is more old style choco pie.

19. Couque Dasse (쿠크다스)
쿠크다스 means Couque Dasse which is Belgium cookie. I am not sure if is tastes exactly as Belgium cookie but the company said it is composed of brewed coffee and vanilla milk.

20. BbaDaCoconut (빠다코코낫)
This is 빠다코코낫. This is one of the oldest and classic commercial cracker in Korea. It may look like typical cracker but it tastes slightly different with other crackers.
