At $7.99 for a 10.58-ounce bag, some might be a little shocked by the sticker price. However, should you take the plunge and snag a bag for yourself, be prepared to wish you had stocked up in the first place.

As is the case for most fan-favorite Costco finds, this 'perfect combo' of flavors will only be around for a limited time, so be sure to stock up. If a light and airy snack that boasts sweet and spicy Korean flavors is already right up your alley, you won't even need to think twice about Soban Korean Pantry's Premium Korean Sweet & Spicy Puffs. Snag a bag or three today and be prepared to hoard them for yourself or share with the whole family.
