Korean Bakeries Took Pepero Day To A New Level
Pepero Day isn't a competition, but if it were, these bakeries would definitely be winning.

For Pepero Day, people were busy at work to make the cutest treats for their friends and loved ones. Korean bakeries were going all out, too, and their creations are just amazing. Pepero Day may be drawing to a close, but that doesn't mean you can't still enjoy a box or two and order our EXO Pepero Day Box!
Meet the Pepero Macaron, Korea’s latest and greatest creation. Forget the boring old stick of Pepero! This sweet treat is made up of any Pepero stick imaginable stuck between a decadent cream and a row of macarons baked together. Mouthwatering, right?
I know what you’re thinking: “Sign me up! Where can I get them?” And I’m totally with you -- I’m already sold on this dessert just based on the ingredients. But Korea isn’t done with us yet, they have to go an extra step and make this delicious dessert too adorable for words.
This one is meant to look like dango, or sweet rice cakes served in Japan (you know that emoji you were never quite sure about, this is it!) Or look at this baker who made them bunny and bear shaped! How could you eat it?! It’s too cute!
Now, if you want to get super fancy, the macarons can also be marbleized or dipped in chocolate and decorated with sprinkles and dried fruits. Then, just wrap it up in some plastic with ribbon -- your friends and loved ones will probably love you forever. Bonus points if you use my favorite Pepero as filling, the chocolate almond flavor. (Not that I’m asking you to send me some, but I mean, I wouldn’t say no…)
Who else wants to try?!
