To me, one of the coolest parts of traveling is trying out new snacks and candy. Which one is your favorite in Korea?

Mine is the chamssal (참쌀), though a coworker said it's actually called 쌀과자 (ssal gwaja) or 'rice snack'. It's very crispy, puffed rice with a sweet and slightly salty taste. I used to buy it a lot from an Asian grocery back in North Carolina, but didn't realize what it was.

Here's the best pic I could find:

Also, gotta give it up for those cookie tubes with chocolate in the center. Mmm.. nice.

the green bag of those korean "doritos"... used to be doritos, now they call 'em "nachos", i think. it's supposed to be pizza flavoured, but it's the closest thing to a cool-ranch zip that i've found over here.

Those chocolate coated Digestive crackers/cookies dipped in insta-coffee. It's not so popular now as it used to be. I used to eat that ALL the time. Good stuff, I'm tell'n ya....

I love the Pepero sticks that are inside out, you know, chocolate filled tubes instead of chocolate dipped sticks. Super yummy. Those and I am addicted to the chicken curry croquettes from Paris Baquette.

ABC chocolates- good quality. Never thought of Korean as being a good chocolate producer, but I have to be very careful not to eat the whole bag- not once have I been able to eat just one...

that vanilla milk shake slush in a foil bag from Lotte. they have strawberry and choco and coffee but they don't compare to the vanilla. i think its a business opp. one day i mixed it with jamaican rum. good stuff.
