Addictions are hard to kick, especially when they’re of the crunchy, finger-licking variety.
Here are five snacks that have secured places in our hearts and on our office desks.
1. Like grilled corn but better, the Sapporo Okaki Oh! Yakitokibi ($13.61) combines naturally dried corn kernels with rice crackers, coating them in a delicious soy sauce.
Available at global.rakuten.com/en/store/hokkaido-omiyage.
2. Similar to its Korean counterpart, Calbee Honey Butter Chips ($5 for 3 packs) are slightly cheaper but equally moreish, with a nice crunchy texture and buttery aroma.
Available at Choco Express.
3. Produced by Korean company Haitai, the savoury-sweet and very addictive Honey Tong Tong ($2.60) comes with puffy triangular shaped crisps.
Available at Shine Korea Supermarket
4. Nutella & Go! ($2.75) is small, compact and can be stashed in your bag in case of hunger pangs. Plus, who can resist the smooth hazelnut spread and crunchy bread sticks?
Available at 7-Eleven and major supermarkets
5. Like grilled corn but better, the Sapporo Okaki Oh! Yakitokibi ($13.61) combines naturally dried corn kernels with rice crackers, coating them in a delicious soy sauce.
