Crown is a Korean confectionery/snack foods brand that has been around since 1947. They make a variety of candies (mychew is their line similar to hi-chew), savory crackers/biscuits, sweet biscuits/cookies, and crunchy snacks. As a snack food lover, I was immediately drawn in to their crunchy snack line.

"CROWN CORN CHO Corn Puff-Chocolate Flavor is a corn puff snack. The corn puff snack is crunchy yet melts in your mouth. The slight savoriness is complemented with the sweetness of chocolate drizzle that each corn puff is dipped in."
"It is a corn snack that is crispy and melts in the mouth. It has a rich chocolate coating on the surface, so you can feel the sweetness in your mouth."
I wanted to love these more than I did. The form factor was perfect: super crunchy, light, airy. So munchable. But the base was very very bland, just corn flour and rice flour. I think the problem is that I wanted them to be more like peanut bamba, as they look just like them, but lack the flavor of the peanut coating. So, base: form factor 4.5/5 and one of my favorite kinds of snacks, but 3/5 bland flavor.
The chocolate coating was fine, fairly deep chocolate, and good quality. Every piece uniformly coated. But again, I wanted the peanut butter element alongside it.
I still easily downed this bag, but the entire time, I wanted them to be just something a bit more. 3/5.
Crown also makes these in a cheese flavor, again with a coated side. I'd like to try those sometime.

"Perfectly balanced sweetness with a light, crispy texture makes it an ideal treat for any time of the day."
Very simple, but delicious. Each package contained two oval shaped rice crackers. They were super crispy, and slightly sweet with a underlying savory quality too (I think they had soy sauce?). Very enjoyable snack. 4/5.
