Yahoo Autos From Pocky To Hi-Chew, People Are Sharing Their All-Time Favorite Asian Snacks, And My Mouth Is Capital 'W' Watering
If you're like me, then you'd probably agree that there's a huge emotional element to food, from nostalgic childhood snacks to core-memory-triggering foods. As a Korean American, that means there will always be a particularly special place (or, perhaps, weakness) in my heart for Asian snacks. And I'm always looking for more.

So, I recently asked the BuzzFeed Community to share their absolute favorite Asian snack, and they did not disappoint. So without further ado, here are 25 mouthwatering Asian snacks that I'm adding to my next grocery list:
1.White Rabbit Creamy Candy
"I still love White Rabbit Candy. 🐰🐇🍬 I recently found out they made an ice cream version of that, that tastes exactly like how I remembered it — but in ice cream form 🍦. It's like my childhood food dreams came true in adult form."
2.Turtle Chips
3.Choco-Pies
"Most Asian supermarkets carry it nowadays. Growing up in South Korea, it's a go-to snack — after school, at every major get-together, holidays, etc. It's a nostalgic comfort snack for me. Sweet milk chocolate, fluffy marshmallow goo. Unwrap it and microwave it for 15 seconds, slap it on a bowl of ice cream, and you've got yourself a gourmet treat.
Growing up, we didn't have the variation of flavors they do now. When I shared a box with my coworkers in the US for the first time, someone commented that they were Moon Pies. Out of curiosity, I bought an American Moon Pie. I instantly felt sorry after the first bite that this cardboard is what they tried to compare my beloved, moist Choco-Pie to."

4.Calbee Shrimp Chips (Yuzu & Black Pepper)

5.Meiji Hello Panda Cookies
"My daughter loves them."
6.Cucumber-Flavored Lay's Potato Chips
"I usually get them from my local Asian supermarkets, like 99 Ranch."

7.Rainbow Mini Mochi
"Daiso also has a nice selection of Japanese snacks."
8.Mouth Spicy Crispy Crackers
"They're like Chinese Bugles with Szechuan peppercorn."
9.Squid Jerky
10.Pineapple Cakes
"They're basically a buttery, soft dough with a pineapple filling."
11.Dozo (Corn Cheese Flavor)
"They're rice crackers that are corn and cheese-flavored! Love them!"
