Besides the monstrosity that is mint chocolate chicken and mint chocolate tteokbokki, there are still lots of decent mint chocolate snacks out there. With South Korea falling into a mint chocolate craze these days (here’s looking at you Mint Choco Soju), here are 11 mint chocolate Korean snacks you should check out!
Some of them are limited editions, so act fast!
11 Must-Try Mint Chocolate Korean Snacks
FYI: If you’re a Mint Chocolate lover in Korea, you belong to the Minchodan (민초단) group. The term has been used to classify those who love the highly taboo flavour.
On the other hand, if you’re someone who’s against Mint Chocolate, you belong to the Banminchodan (반민초단) group.
Orion Mint Chocopie
After the limited-edition Spring Chocopie, Orion has launched a summer limited-edition Mint Chocopie for all the mint choco lovers out there!
This is part of their Minchodan collection, which features some of their most well-known snacks in mint chocolate versions.
The mint chocopie has a rather faint mint smell but once you bite into it, the mint flavour fills your entire mouth. It’s not too overbearing and rather refreshing.
Orion Mint Chocolate Digestive Cookies
Orion has various digestive biscuit snacks, such as the Diget Thin Cookies and Diget Balls.
For the mint chocolate flavours, they’ve replaced the usual chocolate coating with a beautiful mint choco coating.
Orion Mint Choco Songi
One of Orion’s most famous snacks is the mushroom-shaped chocolate biscuit snack, otherwise known as Choco Songi (초코송이). The crispiness of the biscuit goes really well with the mushroom-shaped chocolate.
For the mint chocolate version, they’ve added a mint layer to the chocolate mushroom, so now there are two distinct layers in the mushroom chocolate.
Lotte Mint Almond Choco Ball
Unlike the usual mint choco snacks that tend to come in a dazzling mint colour, the Lotte Mint Almond Choco Ball looks like any other chocolate snack.
The almond is surrounded by a layer of mint chocolate then coated with a layer of chocolate.
Lotte Crunky Mint Choco Ball
If you’ve ever tried the Lotte Crunky chocolates before, you’ll probably love the Lotte Crunky Mint Choco Ball. Inside the mint chocolate ball, you can find pieces of the iconic Crunky malt puffs which gives the snack a nice crunch.
Lotte Mint Choco Sand
The Lotte Sand snack is a biscuit snack that resembles an Oreo. There are various flavours such as pineapple and white cream.
The mint choco flavoured one is said to be a beautiful combination of mint and Oreo flavours. Each box comes with multiple packs of 6 cookies, so you can slowly enjoy and open each pack when you have a craving!
Lotte ABC Mint Choco Cookie
As seen on the packaging, the Lotte ABC Mint Choco Cookie is a chocolate cookie topped with a bar of square-shaped mint chocolate.
Each box comes with 4 individual packets of the snack.
Haitai Oh Yes Mint Choco Cake
The Oh Yes cake snack from Korea is a well-known snack that lots of tourists tend to buy back as souvenirs.
They’ve launched a mint choco version that has a layer of mint frosting in the middle of the cake. Since the cake is made of chocolate and covered with a layer of chocolate, you can also expect a deep chocolate flavour.
HBAF Mint Choco Almond
HBAF (previously known as Tom’s Farm) has been continually launching new flavours for their iconic almond snacks – from Jeju Green Tea to Garlic Bread and Cheongyang Mayo, it’s no surprise that HBAF would come up with a mint chocolate flavoured one.
You can expect a strong mint smell the moment you open the packaging, with almonds coated in mint chocolate and bits of chocolate.
Hershey’s Mint Crème Wafers
This snack comes in two different versions, the original sized wafers and the mini wafers.
Besides mint choco, you can find the snack in flavours like original chocolate and chocolate banana.
KANU Mint Choco Latte
While KANU is a well-known Korean brand for instant coffee, they also have interesting drinks like this KANU Mint Choco Latte.
Don’t expect the drink to be in a pretty mint colour though, it looks like any other chocolate drink. Reviews have said that the mint flavour isn’t overbearing and goes really well with the smooth chocolate.
Korean Mint Chocolate Snacks
The world is divided into two groups, those who love Mint Chocolate and those who find it tasting like toothpaste. Which side are you on? For those that love it, we hope these snacks help to satisfy your mint chocolate cravings!
