Korean candies have a long history as a convenient treat available in many varieties. They come in a wide variety of textures, ranging from soft and chewy to hard and brittle. The type of candy depends on the ingredients, sugar content, size of sugar crystals, temperature, color, and even the type of sugar used.
You can enjoy them as a sweet treat, or you can give them as a gift to your friends on any occasion! And if you have a friend who is missing their homeland, these make for an excellent gift of nostalgia.
