This is Korean honey candy. These little shops are everywhere (especially in touristy locations like Insadong!) We watched their show and tasted some…so good! Here’s a video of their little show (which by the way is pretty much exactly the same wherever you find a little shop like this); it’s just so adorable!!
(This is not my own video, but one I embedded from Youtube.)
