Ppopgi: Dalgona Candy from the Korean Drama “Squid Game”
Have you watched the hottest Korean drama of the moment? We are talking about Squid Game, available for streaming on Netflix! Squid Game is about hundreds of cash-strapped players accepting a strange invitation to compete in children's games. Inside, a tempting prize awaits — with deadly high stakes…
One of these children’s games is to carve out shapes from a honeycomb-like mixture called Dalgona Candy. It may sound simple, but the cookie is fragile, only made from sugar and baking soda, and participants have to cut out triangles, circles, hearts, and umbrellas to move on.
Do you think you will manage to carve out the shape within 10 minutes, like the Squid Game players from the series? Try it now!
