How Kandy Seoul Is Redefining Korean Candy
Feb 20th 2025
Candy brings a certain kind of magic to life. It reminds us of childhood joys, small moments of celebration, and the simple pleasure of something sweet. The way it melts on your tongue or gives a satisfying crunch can turn an ordinary day into something a little more special.
At Kandy Seoul, each piece is made using Hancheon, a plant-based ingredient known for its melt-in-your-mouth texture. Vegan and gluten-free, our candy is a celebration of Korean heritage with a modern twist.
A Taste of Korean Tradition
Homemade Korean candy has been part of celebrations and everyday life for generations. Inspired by the beauty of maedeup (traditional Korean knots), our silk candy reflects a deep cultural connection that dates back centuries. These intricate designs were once a symbol of dignity and artistry in Korean palaces—now, they shape the foundation of our sweets.
A Recipe Rooted in Family
Our homemade Korean candy is a reflection of the time-honored methods passed down through generations. Made from a secret family recipe, our candies capture the flavors of classic Korean confections like dalgona, hangwa, and yagkwa. Every batch is carefully made by hand so each piece is as beautiful as it is delicious.
Plant-Based
Finding the best Korean candies means looking beyond flavor alone. Kandy Seoul is committed to using plant-based ingredients without compromising on taste or texture. Our candies are entirely vegan and gluten-free, crafted with natural fruit juices, teas, and jams. Made in a nut-free environment, they bring an inclusive sweetness that everyone can enjoy.
Sweetness with a Soft, Crisp, or Chewy Finish
Not all Korean hard candy is the same. The balance of softness and crunch depends on the ingredients we use—some pieces have a crisp snap, while others offer a delicate chew. Whether you enjoy the crispness of a traditional hard candy or a more delicate, jelly-like bite, there’s something for every kind of sweet tooth.
With over 30 designs and a rainbow of colors, Kandy Seoul sweets are a treat for the eyes. Order a Heart & Seoul Sample Box to enjoy a selection of flavors, including filled and sour varieties. Each candy is individually wrapped, making them perfect for gifting or savoring one by one.
