No Brand Snacks with Choco Side

There Is No Chocolate Like It Under the Sky.

No Brand frozen foods(Click!) have come to keep their promise. Recently, you must have heard a lot about rising prices and price hikes in the food industry, right? There was a time when you could buy snacks with just a thousand-won bill, but now even two bills are often not enough. You bought snacks with what you thought was a fortune and excitedly opened them, only to see excessive packaging and slap your forehead saying “Huh?” many times. I dipped my toes into imported snacks as a cheap and tasty alternative to domestic snacks, but since I recently discovered No Brand, I’ve been using it often. So today, I’ve prepared some No Brand snacks that the editor likes. As I picked them, they all turned out to be chocolate... Yes, that’s right. I love chocolate! Snacks perfect for recharging your sugar in a tired and sluggish afternoon, let’s go meet them right now!

Choco Peanut Crepe (980 KRW)

Inside the silver wrapper are three thin crepes. Cream is not visible on the surface. Peanut and chocolate are evenly distributed, blending well without any one flavor standing out. The sweet taste of chocolate combined with the savory flavor of peanuts makes it neither overly sweet nor greasy. After finishing one pack, you immediately open the next one. The crispy cracking sound also adds to the experience. Be careful of your mom’s back slap because a lot of crumbs fall!

Hazelnut Dipping & Bread Stick (1,280 KRW)

This snack consists of long, crispy stick biscuits dipped deeply into hazelnut chocolate dipping sauce. It’s not just plain chocolate; the added hazelnut gives a fragrant aroma that fills your mouth. You know the nostalgic Choco Pick? Imagine it without the candy sprinkles. The dipping sauce is generous and not lacking. I used to bring Choco Pick on school picnics as a kid, and now I’m an adult who brings this snack to work.

Butterfinger Choco Sand (2,280 KRW)

Milk chocolate is sandwiched between biscuits made with real butter. The deep and rich aroma of butter and the sweet chocolate balance perfectly. It feels like the flavors of each ingredient come alive more. If you savor it deeply, you might notice a slight taste of powdered milk, which could make it feel a bit greasy or sweet. The only downside is that it’s not individually wrapped. Of course, the editor can finish it all at once.

Wafer Choco Bar (3,680 KRW)

A product the editor always stocks up on! It boasts a shape similar to KitKat, but the taste is distinctly different. Milk chocolate meets crunchy wafer, capturing both texture and flavor. The chocolate melts smoothly, which might be a matter of preference for some. Also, among the No Brand chocolate snacks introduced today, this one feels the sweetest. However, you can enjoy a savory taste from the finely crumbled biscuits.

Editor’s rating … ★★★★★

Choco Chip Ice Cream (4,180 KRW)

If you’re looking for a truly cost-effective chocolate-flavored ice cream, this is it. Soft ice cream is studded with chocolate chips. The melting ice cream and the crunchy chocolate chips fill your mouth with texture. It’s perfect as a dessert after a meal. The chocolate is neither too light nor too heavy, boasting a subtle richness. Besides the chocolate chip flavor, the milk and cookie chip ice creams also taste great, so be sure to stock up for summer.

Editor’s rating … ★★★★★

One-Bite Macaron (6,680 KRW)

This macaron, which expresses its original flavor as well as famous macaron shops, is today’s final contender. It features a harmonious combination of crispy coque and chewy filling. Besides chocolate, you can enjoy a variety of flavors including vanilla, strawberry, caramel salted butter, and lemon. The bite-sized portion deserves extra points. You can eat it straight from the freezer without any thawing time, and it’s not hard at all.
