Introduction
South Korea offers a number of sweet and savory snacks. Plus, it’s natural to crave a light-weight bite, especially when lounging around and binging a fun series! Today let's learn more about Turtle Chips.
What are Turtle Chips?
Kkobuk Chips, also known as Turtle Chips, are a beloved snack in Korea, named for their resemblance to a turtle's shell. These chips have a unique, puffy texture, similar to Bugles, with four crunchy layers that add extra texture. Flavors range from corn soup to injeolmi, with Orion's Chocolate Churros variety being a fan favorite. The packaging is distinctive, featuring a cute turtle alongside a beaver in a comic-style design. Produced by South Korean snack giant Orion, Turtle Chips are gaining popularity in U.S. stores. Let's dive into their flavors and discover what makes each one special!
What are Different Types of Turtle Chips?
1. Corn Soup Flavor
The original and most popular variety is the "Sweet Corn Soup" flavor, which closely resembles the taste of creamy corn soup or buttered corn-on-the-cob. The flavor is more subtle than expected, with a pleasant sweetness that surprises many!
2. Cinnamon Flavor
If you enjoy sweet chips or churros, the 'Sweet Cinnamon' flavor might be for you. Resembling Taco Bell's Cinnamon Twists, these chips have the same unique shape as the corn version but are coated in cinnamon sugar for a toasty, crisp crunch.
3. Shrimp Flavor
This seafood flavor offers a savory, seafood twist with a crispy, multi-layered texture. Infused with a rich shrimp flavor, these chips are perfect for fans of bold, umami-packed snacks.
4. Chocolate Churros Flavor
The Chocolate Churros Turtle Chips combine the crunchy, layered texture of the original with a sweet chocolate churro flavor. These chips are a delicious mix of cocoa and cinnamon, perfect for those with a sweet tooth!

Conclusion
We had Turtle Chips Chocolate flavor in our June Seoulbox filled with unique Jeju products and it was liked by many of our SeoulMates. You may have come across the awestruck turtle in a top hat at your local market! But if you haven’t been lucky enough to encounter Turtle Chips within the wild, you'll also get them organized online. Bring to a picnic to share together with your friends this winter, or retreat into your shell and luxuriate in all of them by yourself.
