Is It Easier to Make Dalgona Candy with a Ladle or Saucepan?.

Getting Started with Cinder Toffee Candy.

What Do You Need To Make Honeycomb Toffee Cookies.

Let the dalgona candy cool off completely, before removing from the parchment paper/silicone baking mat.

Press the cookie cutter in the candy gently a couple of times, otherwise the cookie cutter might stick. We personally liked the 'stamping' method.

Next (move fast if you did step 9), press the shape in the candy with a cookie cutter.

We personally skipped this step as the cookie was already pretty flat. If you do so, press a few times lightly, before pressing harder - otherwise it will stick.

Optional: you can flatten the candy with a bottom of a bowl, or a special hotteok press.

Pour the mixture out on parchment paper or silicone baking mat.

Add a pinch of baking soda and stir very well, until the mixture is frothy, mixed well, and has an even, light caramel color.

When the sugar is completely liquid and has a golden brown color, remove from the heat.

If you use a ladle, it's easier to move the sugar away or closer to the stove. Keep stirring and keep an eye on the color.

Add 2 tablespoons of sugar to the pan or ladle and start stirring with the wooden chopstick, or spoon.

Use medium to low heat throughout the process. Have the sugar and baking soda ready to use. Lay out parchment paper or silicone baking mat, on a flat surface.

Let the dalgona candy/honeycomb cool completely before removing it from the baking paper.

Do not press your cutter too late into the honeycomb, because it will harden quickly.

Use a ‘stamping’ method to gently press into the dalgona candy a few times (not too deep at once), otherwise your cutter may stick.

Let the mixture cool for 15-20 seconds before pressing a mold.

Be patient with the caramelization, but work fast when adding baking soda!.

Using a ladle makes it easy to keep the sugar farther away or closer to the stove.

Use medium to low heat for this dalgona candy recipe because when sugar melts, it also burns very quickly.

Alternatively, you can also use a small pan with a wooden spoon.

We recommend using a steel soup spoon and a wooden chopstick.

Get all your supplies and ingredients ready before making the recipe.

There is probably a very exact science behind the melting temperature and the reaction of baking soda with caramel.īut in reality, you really have to get a ‘feel’ for this. Making dalgona candy is a bit like making pancakes: the first one almost always fails. This recipe will NOT work with baking powder. That doesn’t sound too difficult, but preparing the candy can cause some frustration.

Then add baking soda and your caramel will foam nicely! Let this harden on a baking paper (possibly with a shape stamped in it). You only need 2 ingredients: sugar and baking soda. In theory, the dalgona candy recipe is very easy.

Are you able to carve out the shape nicely? The more complicated the shape, the harder the game! How to Make Dalgona Candy? It is the intention that you carve out the mold nicely, without breaking the candy.įollowing this show, people on TikTok have also started playing this game. We mentioned it above, but in Squid Game a game is played with this candy. It’s honestly a very metaphorical, anti-capitalist show. The big advantage of winning is becoming rich, but the big disadvantage of losing is that you get eliminated. We also see the well known ‘Red Light Green Light’ game in the show!

In this series, a group of people (all of whom are in debt) participate in a series of 6 games. Made famous by Netflix’s Squid Gameĭalgona candy is making a comeback thanks to the Korean Netflix show Squid Game.

Have you already made the TikTok pasta or TikTok pancake cereal? Honeycomb Toffeeĭalgona candy is a form of honeycomb toffee, caramel-like candy. Street vendors sometimes awarded prizes (for example toys) to children who had cut the mold nicely. Similar to the game in Squid Game, children used to try to carve the shape out. In Korea, they also use the word ppopgi (뽑기) for this candy. You may remember the word ‘dalgona’ from an earlier TikTok trend: dalgona coffee! The Korean word dalguna (달고나) means something like “it’s sweet”. It is still sold and eaten in South Korea as ‘retro’ candy. Dalgona candy is Korean candy, which was popular street food in the 1970s and 80s.
