How Koreans Enjoy It · Korean Ways to Serve

Discover the many ways Pepero Original is enjoyed in Korea — more than just a snack, it is part of Korean food culture.

Pepero Day

빼빼로 데이

Every year on November 11th, Korea celebrates "Pepero Day." The tradition began because the date 11/11 resembles the shape of Pepero sticks. Koreans exchange Pepero with friends, partners, family, and colleagues as a gesture of affection — a uniquely Korean occasion that has become a natural part of school and workplace culture.

With Coffee

커피와 함께

In Korean cafe culture, Pepero is a classic pairing with Americano, latte, or instant mix coffee. The slight bitterness of the coffee balances the sweetness of Pepero perfectly, making it a popular light snack for afternoon breaks or while studying or working.

School Snack

학교 간식

Pepero is a staple in Korean students' school bags and lunch boxes. Its compact box keeps the sticks from breaking, making it highly portable. Sharing one stick at a time with classmates is a familiar and cherished scene in Korean school life.

K-Drama Night

한국 드라마 야식

In Korean households, it is common to open a box of Pepero while watching an evening drama or film, enjoying it slowly alongside milk or tea. The format — one hand holding a stick, the other free for the remote — makes it an ideal TV snack.

Gift Box

선물용 포장

In Korea, Pepero is not only given as a single-box gift — multiple boxes are often bundled together and wrapped like a bouquet, known as a "Pepero Bouquet." This heartfelt presentation is popular for birthdays, exam encouragement, and other special occasions.

Ice Cream Topping

아이스크림 토핑

A popular creative use in Korean cafes and homes — Pepero sticks are inserted upright into vanilla ice cream, Bingsu (Korean shaved ice), or yogurt as a topping. The crispy texture and rich chocolate complement cold desserts beautifully, and this style is widely shared on social media as a Korean dessert trend.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is Pepero? What does it taste like?

Pepero is one of Korea's most iconic snacks — a thin, crispy wheat biscuit stick (similar in style to a pretzel stick) coated in chocolate. The Original variety features a sweet milk chocolate coating and is very similar in form to the European snack Pocky. Each bite delivers a satisfying crunch from the biscuit followed by the smoothness of the chocolate. It pairs wonderfully with coffee or tea. In Korea, Pepero is so beloved that November 11th is celebrated as "Pepero Day," when people gift it to friends and loved ones.

Is it suitable for vegetarians?

Yes, Lotte Pepero Original is suitable for vegetarians. However, it contains animal-derived ingredients including eggs (Whole Egg Liquid) and dairy products (Lactose, Processed Butter, Milky Paste, Processed Milk Powder), so it is not suitable for vegans. Those following a fully plant-based diet should avoid this product.

What allergens does this product contain?

This product contains several major allergens that must be declared under EU Regulation 1169/2011. Confirmed allergens include: Gluten (Wheat Flour 51%), Eggs (Whole Egg Liquid), Soy (Lecithin), Milk (Lactose, Butter, Milk Powder, etc.), and Nuts. Additionally, cross-contamination with Peanuts has been reported, so individuals with a peanut allergy should exercise particular caution. Always check the allergen labelling on the product packaging before purchase.

Is this product gluten-free or Halal certified?

No, this product is not gluten-free. Wheat Flour accounts for 51% of the ingredients, and Malt Extract from Barley is also included. Individuals who are sensitive to gluten or have Coeliac Disease should avoid this product. This product is also not Halal certified. Those following a Halal diet should take note before consuming.

How should I store it? Can I keep it crispy after opening?

Before opening, store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humid conditions. As the product has a chocolate coating, it may melt in high temperatures — refrigeration is recommended during summer (use an airtight container to prevent moisture). After opening, exposure to humidity can cause the biscuit to soften, so seal the opening with a clip or transfer to an airtight container and consume as soon as possible. At 47g per pack, it is perfectly sized to enjoy in one sitting.
