Do you remember your favorite characters munching on seaweed soup on their birthdays? Here is the quick and crunchy version of it! Due to their crispy texture and umami flavor, they make for a perfect snack to munch on while watching a K-drama.
Crunky Pepero
One of the snacks in the box is the famous Crunky Pepero, a long thin cookie stick coated in chocolate. This snack has been a Korean favorite for years and is often seen in K-dramas. There is even a national day for Pepero! It’s on the 11th of November and it is tradition for Koreans to gift Peperos to each other. While you snack on Pepero, you should check out your favorite idols playing the “Pepero game”, of which you can see a demonstration below.
Strawberry and Vanilla Wafer
Strawberry and Vanilla Wafer are crispy, light, and sweet treats made of thin layers of wafer biscuits filled with creamy vanilla and strawberry filling.

Imagine enjoying these treats while you marathon your favorite K-drama with your friends. It's a great way to immerse oneself in Korean culture and appreciate its unique snacks.
Honey Rice Crackers
These bite-sized crackers made of sticky rice and coated with honey are commonly featured in K-dramas. They regularly appear during scenes involving tea drinking, family gatherings, or romantic moments between the lead characters. The crunchy texture and sweet flavor of Honey Rice Crackers add a unique touch to these scenes, making them even more memorable.
Fun fact: Honey Rice Crackers have a deeper cultural significance in Korea. According to Korean folklore, they were initially created by an artisan in the Joseon Dynasty over 500 years ago. The artisan was on a mission to make a rice cake that would not spoil during long journeys. He came up with the idea of coating sticky rice with honey, which acted as a natural preservative.
Bacchus Jellies Sour
Have you ever seen a K-drama without a soju-drinking night and a terrible hangover the day after? Probably not. You might have noticed that hangover cures often appear on the screen. Bacchus Jellies Sour is made with the energy drink Bacchus, believed to relieve hangovers. Try out for yourself what all those hangover cures are about!
