How to make Dalgona Candy
Dalgona Candy is a simple toffee honeycomb made with only sugar and baking soda. First, you place the sugar in a stainless steel ladle over a heat source. As the sugar melts, stir it with a disposable chopstick as the street vendors do in Korea.
When the sugar is caramelized, add a tiny pinch of baking soda, and stir until the mixture foams into a light tan color. Next, pour the melted mixture onto a silpat, or parchment paper. Finally, flatten it with a metal weight, and then emboss a shape with a cookie cutter.
The Dalgona Candy Challenge
Now you’ve made the, it’s time for your challenge. Ultimately, you will win if you snap or cut the embossed shape out of the candy cleanly without the candy breaking. Use your hands or fingers as children do in Korea. Or, use a needle, or cigarette lighter to heat up the needle to scrape the shape out. In the end, on Squid Game, if the candy breaks, the contestant loses their life!
