A Collection from HBAF, Famous for Honey Butter Almonds
Launched in August 2014, Honey Butter Chips sparked the Honey Butter craze through word of mouth, much like the current Pok?mon bread phenomenon. Back then, people went to every convenience store trying to get a bag of Honey Butter Chips. The first time I found Honey Butter Chips was when they were sold bundled with other snacks. Even though they were bundled with snacks I didn’t like, I bought them and still can’t forget the sweet taste of Honey Butter Chips. But what about these days? Snacks like popcorn and dried sweet potatoes have been released one after another, continuing the popularity of honey butter. From products that raised questions with unexpected combinations to flavors that amazed with perfect harmony, the editor personally tasted them to see how far the honey butter expansion will go.
Lalabear Honey Butter Popcorn
This is Lalabear Honey Butter Popcorn, released to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Homeplus. The popcorn is golden and crispy, perfectly balanced with honey and butter, making it ideal human food. Now you can enjoy the popcorn taste you had at the movie theater at home. They say familiar tastes are the scariest, and this is exactly that taste. The sweet and salty popcorn pairs perfectly with OB beer! Above all, it comes in a zipper bag, making storage easy.
Honey Ale
I only thought honey butter was for snacks, never imagined encountering it in a drink. The Honey Ale packaging looks more like a soft drink than beer. Until now, ale beers were characterized by floral and fruity aromas, but Honey Ale has a strong sweet honey scent. However, the sweetness is less pronounced than the rich aroma suggests, which was a bit disappointing. With low carbonation, Honey Ale has a smooth throat feel and an alcohol content of 4.3%.
Honey Butter Glutinous Rice Cake
Glutinous rice cake studded with almonds and coated with honey butter seasoning reminds me of sweet honey rice cakes. As soon as I opened the bag, the buttery aroma spread, and the moment I took a bite, the sweet flavor enveloped my entire mouth. The small almond pieces add a crunch, and the harmony of sweet honey, rich butter, and nutty almonds satisfies your blood sugar levels. It seems like a great cool snack for the increasingly hot weather.
Honey Butter Dried Sweet Potato
Dried sweet potatoes coated with domestically produced beekeeping honey and butter are sweeter than the original sweet potato flavor. The butter aroma dominates the honey and sweet potato, making it the most honey butter-like flavor. If you microwave it for about 10 seconds before eating, it feels even softer. Although dried sweet potatoes are generally expensive, the small quantity compared to other products feels very disappointing.
Honey Jelly
Just opening the bag lifts the gloomy mood with the scent of honey. The cute shapes of bears and honey jars help relieve stress once more. Containing 5% honey concentrate, it feels like eating pure honey. Honey’s characteristics?sweetness and stickiness?are exactly what you get. If eaten at room temperature, it tastes like honey; if slightly frozen and then thawed, you can enjoy a jelly texture.
