Whenever my husband and I travel down south to visit my in-laws, we always drop by at some rest stop midpoint of our journey to grab a small bag of our favorite snack -- delicious walnut pastry cakes 호두과자 (hodu gwaja), and a cup of steamy, hot coffee.

Walnut cakes or hodu gwaja originated from Cheonan, South Korea. They are popular Korean street snack during the harsh winters. These tasty pastry cakes are made by pouring flour dough mix into a hot iron mold, and filling it with the sweet red bean mix pat and walnuts. 
The name hodu gwaja comes from the combination of the word ‘hodu’ (호두), meaning walnut, and 'gwaja’ (과자), used to refer to any snack such as cakes or cookies. 

These pastry cakes are found typically across Korea from street-side snack carts or the ubiquitous stalls at subway, train, and highway rest stops; hence hodu gwaja are always associated with taking long distance trips around the country. Normally, they are sold by snack-sized bags or boxes for just 3,000~5,000.

I’ve tried different kinds of tasty hodu gwaja; but the tastiest of all for me are the hodu gwaja from CocoHodo. A bit pricey (270원 a piece ~ 31,000원 coco special gift box), but so worth it. They are very delicious, and extremely addictive! The pastry cake is perfectly baked. Not-so-sweet; with a crisp outer pastry shell that looks like a walnut, and a rich creamy filling of sweet red bean mousse and a large chunk of walnut. Yum!



They are freshly baked, and will make a thoughtful gift for someone special. Try them too! Buy a box, and share with a friend.^^ Check their shops out. They have many branches at convenient locations here in Korea, and USA.
