Chocolate is one of the most popular desserts in the world. It can be eaten as is, as a snack; and can even be made into other treats like cake or drinks.

In South Korea, this flavour is also loved by many which is why a lot of chocolate products can be bought in the market. Here are seven products you can buy here in Singapore!

Ghana Chocolate Bar

Inspired by the country Ghana, which is one of the largest exporters of cocoa beans, this chocolate bar is one of the most popular brands in both South Korea and Japan.

Ghana chocolate bars come in four different flavours wrapped in red (milk chocolate), black (dark chocolate), white (white chocolate) and beige (roast milk).

It also uses a unique technique called “micro-grinding” – a method that involves the grounding of ingredients into tiny particles to ensure a soft and tender taste as soon as it touches the tip of your tongue!
