So to help you make a more informed choice on your Korean snack, and maybe even find the next honey-butter chip, I spoke to six Korean chefs about their favorite Korean snacks and candy. Coat oil on a hotteok press or any ceramic or metal plate/pan that you can use to press the melted sugar. But since there are so many choices and colorful, over-the-top packages, the chips and candy aisle at your local Korean grocery store (like H Mart) can be hard to navigate, even if you do speak Korean. Coat a plate or a metal or stone surface with a bit of vegetable oil. And though you no longer have to go to the dark web to buy honey-butter chips online, there are still plenty of reasons to get excited about Korean snacks and candy. Welcome to Made in Korea week on the Strategist.įew snacks have inspired the same fervor as Korean honey-butter chips, the salty-and-sweet potato chips that were so popular, they demanded a black market. From miracle-working beauty products and addictive snacks to Ultra HD electronics and the world’s best dishwashing gloves.

Last year’s rise in cocoa prices had made it less profitable to grind cocoa. “We are seeing very keen demand and off-take which is unusual for this time of the year,” said Jeff Rasinski, vice-president of procurement and risk management for Blommer Chocolate Company, the biggest cocoa grinder in North America. “Fun size” bars in North America are two or three bites big. “It used to be you had ‘fun sizes’ and now it’s bite sizes,” said Judith Ganes-Chase, soft commodities expert and president of New York-based J Ganes Consulting. Some companies put smaller bars in the pack but kept the price unchanged. With food retailers pressing manufacturers to minimise price rises, one response was “shrinkflation”. Market research firm Nielsen has estimated there was a 3.7 percent year-on-year decline in global chocolate confectionery demand in the September-November period.
Chocoholics in North America and Europe, meanwhile, opted for quality at the expense of quantity. High prices for ingredients last year - including nuts and milk as well as cocoa - helped make chocolate a less affordable treat for consumers in emerging markets such as China and India.
