Hello! This is your reliable blog assistant, 'Blog Optimization Top Ranking Strategy Prompt'!
Folks! Folks! 😲 Isn't this a "can't not be delicious" combination?!
Shocking news: 'Korea's national snack' **Lotte Chaltteok Pie** has met 'Korea's national ice cream' **Okdongja**! 🤯 (And there's even a Crunky Chocolate Bar version!)
"Chewy texture + sweet Cookies & Cream" ... You can imagine the taste just by the name, right? 🤤
Will this legendary new collaboration live up to the hype? Where can you buy it? I 'ultra-fast' tried it and brought you an honest review! 🚀
The new product corners at convenience stores and supermarkets are really hot these days! 🔥 Especially with winter approaching, sweet desserts are flooding the market. Among them, one overwhelmingly eye-catching visual instantly grabbed my attention! It was none other than **<Chaltteok Pie Okdongja>**!
"No way... Lotte... you finally did something right?!" 😭 The news that the chewy Chaltteok Pie was combined with the unique **'milky Cookies & Cream flavor'** of Okdongja ice cream was something I just couldn't ignore! It was enough to pique my curiosity.
Furthermore, because the **<Crunky Chocolate Bar Mini Okdongja>** flavor, which enhances Okdongja's crispiness, was also released **exclusively at Homeplus**, I didn't hesitate and quickly bought both products myself! Will this legendary collaboration truly be as fantastic as rumored?
1. 🚨 Where Can You Buy It? (Location & Price) - Important!
Before you exclaim, "I have to go buy it now!" there's crucial information you absolutely need to know!
- Where to Buy: 🏪 **Exclusively sold at 'Homeplus' only!** (You won't find it at convenience stores like GS25, CU, 7-Eleven, E-mart 24, or other large supermarkets like E-mart, Lotte Mart, so don't make a wasted trip! Homeplus is currently the only purchase point.)
- Price:
- Chaltteok Pie Okdongja (10 pieces): **6,390 KRW** (Approximately 639 KRW per piece, which isn't bad considering today's prices! A box contains 250g.)
- Crunky Chocolate Bar Mini Okdongja: **7,990 KRW**
- Pro Tip: I dislike carrying heavy items, so I used the Baedal Minjok app 🛵 **'Homeplus Scheduled Delivery'** service! You can get free delivery if your purchase is over 20,000 KRW, so combine it with other daily necessities and have it conveniently delivered to your home! (Super convenient... that's smart shopping!)
2. Chaltteok Pie Okdongja (10 pieces) Honest Review! 😋
I started with the 'Chaltteok Pie Okdongja', which I was most excited about. How well did Lotte Chaltteok Pie capture the iconic Cookies & Cream flavor of Okdongja?
- Price / Calories: 6,390 KRW (10 pieces) / A box (250g) contains 1,060 kcal! It's **approximately 106 kcal** per piece (25g). (It's small, but perhaps because of the chaltteok, the calorie count is quite high... but if it's delicious, it's 0 calories...😅)
- Expiration Date: The product I bought was good until March 2026. (Longer than expected, so it can be stored for a good while. However, some other reviews I've seen mentioned a relatively short expiration date, so make sure to check the product's expiration date upon purchase!)
- Visual:
- Outer Appearance: Like the original Chaltteok Pie, it has a moist chocolate coating, but this one is studded with Okdongja ice cream's characteristic **dark cookie crumbles**, making it visually appealing from the get-go. It seemed to scream, 'This is an Okdongja collaboration!'
- Cross-section (Key!): Cutting it in half revealed a perfect 3-layer structure beyond expectation! It consisted of **outer (crispy cookie chip chocolate coating) → middle (chewy chaltteok) → inner (sweet Cookies & Cream)**. (Although not a 4-layer like Okdongja ice cream, this combination is perfect!)
- Taste & Texture:
- (One-line review): Wow... this is genuinely delicious! 😭 It's not just a collaboration; it's a work of art.
- First Bite: Thanks to the cookie crumbles on the outside, a pleasant **'crunch!'** texture, absent in the original Chaltteok Pie, hits first! I was pleasantly surprised by this unexpected texture change.
- Middle: Piercing through the soft chocolate coating, the **'chewy~'** and sticky chaltteok texture, Chaltteok Pie's signature, follows. My initial worry about whether Okdongja's taste and Chaltteok's texture would go well together was unfounded.
- Finish: Finally, the **sweet and 'milky' Cookies & Cream** hidden inside the chaltteok puts the finishing touch! The rich and smooth Cookies & Cream flavor, like a concentrated Okdongja ice cream, spreads throughout the mouth, bringing a sense of happiness.
- Overall: It's a **very well-made new product** that **perfectly harmonizes** Okdongja ice cream's 'milky Cookies & Cream flavor' with Chaltteok Pie's 'chewy texture'! It truly made me exclaim, "This is what a real collaboration tastes like!" (Note: It is quite sweet, so if you don't like overly sweet things, keep that in mind!)
🍯 [Pro Tip for Even Better Taste!]
I highly recommend **'frozen eating' (얼먹)**! 🥶 If you slightly freeze it in the refrigerator or freezer, the chaltteok becomes even chewier and stickier, and the cream becomes cold and dense like ice cream... It genuinely feels like eating a 'Cookies & Cream ice cream sandwich'! It would be perfect as a refreshing and sweet summer snack too.
3. Crunky Chocolate Bar Mini Okdongja (7,990 KRW) Honest Review! 🍫
This is the 'Crunky Chocolate Bar Mini Okdongja', another Okdongja collaboration, which I grabbed along with the Chaltteok Pie because I didn't want to miss out! It had a different charm than the Chaltteok Pie version.
- Price / Quantity: 7,990 KRW / 405g (Approx. 14-15 pieces)
- Visual: As a Lotte Crunky Chocolate Bar, it comes in mini chocolate bar form. It's centered around a crispy wafer roll, filled with Okdongja's Cookies & Cream, and coated with chocolate and crunchy cookies on the outside. Its small size makes it easy to eat in one bite.
- Taste & Texture:
- The **'dark cookie' flavor was much richer** than the Chaltteok Pie version! The bitter-sweet chocolate and cookie flavor that followed the crunch was very good.
- It felt like there was a syrup spread between the wafer rolls, adding a **'sticky~ dense~'** and chewy texture. This part offered a different kind of enjoyment compared to the Chaltteok Pie.
- The combination of crispy cookie chips + dense syrup + soft cream resulted in **extreme sweetness!** 🤯 This is a flavor that anyone who loves sweet things would truly enjoy.
[Overall Comparison of the Two Products!]
- If you like **chewy + milky cream**? ➡️ Definitely **Chaltteok Pie Okdongja**! (Even better frozen for a refreshing boost!)
- If you prefer a **crispy texture + rich dark cookie** flavor? ➡️ **Crunky Chocolate Bar Mini Okdongja**! (Highly recommended for chocolate lovers!)
Both products successfully captured the charm of Okdongja ice cream and are considered successful collaborations. You can choose according to your preference!
4. (TMI) I Hear 'Matcha' is Also a Big Trend These Days? 🍵
While searching for Okdongja collaboration products, I stumbled upon another new product news! It seems 'matcha' and 'collaboration' are truly trending in the dessert world these days. Even matcha-flavored cream bread products are popular and easily found in convenience stores. Seoul Milk has finally launched its own **'Matcha Cream Bread'**! 😲
- GS25's new 'Seoul Milk Matcha Cream Bread' is expected to continue the popularity of milk cream bread. (My personal favorite convenience store cream bread is Yonsei Milk Matcha Chocolate Fresh Cream Bread. This one has a whopping 420kcal per piece... ㄷㄷ)
- Matcha cream bread or matcha fresh cream bread typically have about 192-420 kcal per piece.
I'll review this soon too... My wallet is already empty...😅 New desserts are so well-made these days that my wallet can't keep up!
"The chewiness of Chaltteok Pie and the sweetness of Okdongja combine to create a dessert of a lifetime!"
'Chaltteok Pie Okdongja' was a truly delicious and satisfying combination, to the extent that its price (about 600 KRW per piece...), size, and calories could be momentarily forgiven! 😋
If you love 'Cookies & Cream', if you're a 'chewy texture' fan, or if you've been an 'Okdongja' ice cream enthusiast, there's no reason to hesitate! (Of course... if you don't like overly sweet things, I'd strongly advise against it!) Especially if you try it 'frozen', you can experience the true flavor of Okdongja ice cream, so definitely give it a try!
I emphasize again, it's sold **exclusively at 'Homeplus' only**, so if you visit Homeplus this weekend, I highly recommend stocking up on a box! (Don't regret it later!)
