Korea’s timeless biscuits – reviewed for Muslim consumers 🧕🍪
Sometimes, all you need is a classic.
This week, MUFKO selected four Korean biscuit/snack products that are beloved across generations and contain no haram ingredients, based on our review.
From buttery waffles to salty crackers, these are the perfect companions to coffee, tea, or a quiet afternoon moment — now made accessible for our Muslim community.
🧇 Butter Waffle (버터와플)
Nicknamed the “noble biscuit” in Korea, this buttery delight offers both a crisp bite and a delicate melt-in-your-mouth finish. Each individually wrapped piece is convenient and elegant — perfect for serving to guests or pairing with coffee, tea, or milk. Try it with vanilla ice cream for an unexpectedly rich dessert twist!
☕ COUQUE D’ASSE (쿠크다스 – White / Coffee)
Known in Korea for its ultra-soft texture, Couque D’Asse is so delicate that it’s part of internet jokes (“mentally weak people break like Couque D’Asse”). Two flavors are included: the creamy sweet white version, and the aromatic coffee cream edition. Tip: Stack both flavors and eat together for a delightful mix of sweet and bold!
🧂 Cham Cracker (참크래커)
For those tired of sugary snacks, this one’s for you. Cham Cracker is Korea’s version of the classic saltine — light, crisp, and clean in taste. It pairs wonderfully with cheese, jam, tuna mayo, or even Greek yogurt for a healthy twist. Minimalist, versatile, and unexpectedly addictive.
🥜 Gookee Peanut Sand (땅콩샌드)
Made with roasted peanuts from **Udo, Jeju Island**, these cookies have a deeply nutty, soft crunch that makes them irresistible. They’ve been a staple snack since 1999, and they’re still going strong for a reason. Perfect with milk, tea, or as a lunchbox treat.
🍎 Bonus Mention: Apple Sand (애플샌드)
A fruity twist on the peanut version — this one’s made with tart Korean-grown apples. Slightly tangy, refreshingly sweet, and a fun option if you’re looking for something lighter. Kids love it, and it’s also great chilled!
Note:
These products are not halal-certified, but MUFKO has reviewed the ingredient lists and confirmed that they contain no haram ingredients such as pork, alcohol, or animal-based enzymes.
