In Korea they do dessert differently from America. For instance fruit is a common dessert, and you often won't eat more than a small amount of something sugary. Part of it is just differences in portion sizes, but it seems like there's just a different taste when it comes to sweet things (especially chocolate). Many times I think that Koreans don't have much of a sweet tooth, but then you encounter foods like "bbopgi" which is essentially caramelized sugar, coated with more sugar. I've heard it called "Grandfather candy" although I think that means it's traditional rather than putting it on the same level as Werthers. They mix baking soda and sugar together and heat it until it melts together. Once that's done, they flatten it and press shapes into the candy. You're supposed to try to break out the shape. If you do this on the street, apparently the vendor will give you another one, but it's pretty hard to do. These are two of my students (Evelyn and Naomi) cooking some up for an event the other day. For the record I broke out my shape perfectly.
