New Dalgona Snacks
No need to stir 400 times anymore! New easy pick-me-up dalgona snacks in Korea.
Dalgona is a snack that brings a sense of nostalgia to older generation Koreans. For them, dalgona was a street snack of melted sugar mixed with baking soda stamped into different shapes growing up.
The COVID-19 pandemic saw many of us staying at home and maintaining social-distancing. One of the fads that blew up the Internet from this global safety practice was Korea's dalgona coffee. Now it seems that consumers in Korea won't have to manually stir the mixture 400 times in order to achieve that perfect level of density and fluffiness anymore. They can now simply walk out of a convenience store with their hands full of dalgona snacks. Let's see what these new releases of deliciousness are!
