Custard Cream Bread (Cream-ppang 크림빵) - bread is definitely a go-to snack.

This is also a favorite among kids as they are easy to buy or make at home.

Healthy Rice Cake - Koreans love rice cake, but this one has a nutritious twist to it. Aside from the usual ingredients that make the common rice cake, add in some pine nuts, peeled chestnuts, and dried black beans with green kernels to give it more texture and flavor. It is not only tasty, but it's also healthy as well!

Sweet Red Bean-Filled Doughnut Balls - If you are a person who just can't get enough for sweet red beans, then this one is definitely for you. People absolutely love this due to its crispy on the outside but super chewy on the inside. This is a great snack to have while you're finishing up work, watching a movie, or you're just looking for something to go well with your tea or coffee.

Fluffy Sweet Red Bean-Filled Steamed Buns - For those sweet red bean lovers out there, this is another treat to munch on when you just can't stop your cravings for sweet red fillings. It is the traditional "jjinppang", more of like the jjinppang-mandu (buns filled with vegetables and meat) but in this case, sweet red bean instead.
