Top 10 Korean Snacks You’ll Find in Our Boxes
Korean snacks have become a global obsession, thanks to K-dramas, K-pop, and the fiery ramen challenges sweeping TikTok and YouTube. From instant noodles that make your eyes water to sweet treats you’ll want to gift your best friend, Korean snacks are unique, bold, and addictive.
At [Your Brand], we pack our Korean snack boxes with the most popular and trending treats — so you don’t have to hunt them down. Whether you’re craving spicy Buldak ramen, chocolatey Choco Pie, or curious about the Squid Game candy craze, here are the Top 10 Korean snacks you’ll find in our boxes.
1. Shin Ramen (신라면)
No list of Korean snacks is complete without Shin Ramen. This iconic noodle soup has been Korea’s number-one ramen for decades, known for its spicy red broth and chewy noodles. Globally, “Shin Ramen” is one of the most searched Korean food terms, and for good reason: it’s comforting, filling, and the perfect intro to Korean instant noodles.
You’ll often spot Shin Ramen in K-dramas or at Korean supermarkets abroad. Our Korean snack box includes classic Shin Ramen packs so you can experience Korea’s most famous bowl right at home.
2. Buldak Ramen (불닭볶음면) – The Fire Noodle Challenge
If Shin Ramen is the classic, Buldak Ramen (a.k.a. Fire Noodles) is the viral superstar. With over 70,000 monthly global searches, Buldak ramen is famous for the “fire noodle challenge” — a YouTube and TikTok trend where people test their spice tolerance.
The sauce is fiery hot, slightly sweet, and unforgettable. We include multiple Buldak flavors in our spicy ramen box, from the original red pack to carbonara and cheese versions. It’s a must-try for anyone who loves spice or wants to take on the challenge with friends.
3. Pepero (빼빼로)
Pepero is a slim biscuit stick dipped in chocolate or other coatings. It’s Korea’s answer to Japan’s Pocky, and it’s so beloved that November 11 is officially Pepero Day, when friends, couples, and coworkers exchange boxes of Pepero as gifts.
From classic chocolate to almond-covered, Pepero is sweet, shareable, and iconic. Our Pepero snack box (especially popular around Pepero Day) makes the perfect treat for yourself or as a gift.
4. Choco Pie (초코파이)
If Oreos and marshmallows had a Korean cousin, it would be the Choco Pie. Two soft cakes sandwich a gooey marshmallow center, all coated in chocolate.
First made by Orion in the 1970s, Choco Pie became a cultural phenomenon, symbolizing friendship and comfort. It’s one of the most searched Korean snacks globally and a must-try for anyone exploring Korean snacks online. You’ll always find at least one in our classic snack box.
5. Squid Game Ppushu Ppushu (뿌셔뿌셔)
The viral Squid Game Netflix show spotlighted Korea’s street snacks, including Dalgona candy. But another fan-favorite is Ppushu Ppushu — a ramen-like snack you don’t cook. Instead, you smash the packet, sprinkle seasoning, and eat the crunchy bits straight.
Our Squid Game snack box includes Ppushu Ppushu alongside other drama-inspired snacks, so you can taste the same fun crunch you’ve seen on screen.
6. K-Pop Demon Hunters Shrimp Crackers (새우깡)
Shrimp Crackers (Saewookkang) are a Korean classic: crispy, salty chips with real shrimp flavor. They became even cooler when we partnered them with our limited edition K-Pop Demon Hunters box.
This crossover merges two huge trends — shrimp crackers, one of the most famous Korean chips, and K-pop fandom. Perfect for collectors and fans who want their snack with a side of culture.
7. Yakgwa (약과) – Traditional Korean Honey Pastry
While many Korean snacks are modern and bold, Yakgwa takes us back to tradition. These flower-shaped pastries are made with honey, sesame oil, and wheat flour, then deep-fried for a rich, chewy treat.
Yakgwa has been part of Korean culture for centuries, often eaten at holidays or weddings. Recently, it’s trending again thanks to younger Koreans rediscovering traditional snacks on TikTok. Including Yakgwa in our snack boxes lets you taste Korea’s heritage alongside its trendiest treats.
8. Jin Ramen (진라면)
Often called Shin Ramen’s rival, Jin Ramen is another Korean instant noodle powerhouse. It comes in mild and spicy versions, making it friendlier for beginners who want flavor without too much heat. Global interest in Jin Ramen is strong, especially among first-time buyers curious about Korean instant noodles. We always include at least one pack to balance out the firepower of Shin and Buldak.
9. Ghana Chocolate (가나 초콜릿)
Launched by Lotte in 1975, Ghana Chocolate is one of Korea’s oldest and most beloved chocolate bars. Simple, creamy, and rich, it’s often featured in K-dramas — characters gift it, snack on it, or use it in romantic scenes. Searches for Ghana Chocolate Korea spike every Valentine’s Day and Pepero Day, proving its cultural significance. Including it in our boxes gives you a sweet break from the spice.
10. Silkworm Pupa (번데기)
The adventurous snack. Beondegi (silkworm pupa) is a traditional Korean street food, boiled or steamed and seasoned. While unusual to newcomers, it’s packed with protein and nostalgia for many Koreans. Adding it to select boxes lets brave snackers say they’ve truly tried it all.
