Dalgona || 달고나 2

Dalgona is a popular Korean candy that gained international attention thanks to the Netflix series “Squid Game.” It’s a simple yet nostalgic treat that involves melting sugar and baking soda over heat, then shaping it into various designs.

How to Make Dalgona:

1. Melt the Sugar: Heat sugar in a pan over low heat, stirring constantly until it melts into a golden brown caramel.
2. Add Baking Soda: Quickly add a pinch of baking soda to the melted sugar and stir vigorously. The mixture will foam up rapidly.
3. Shape the Candy: Pour the mixture onto a greased surface and shape it into desired designs using molds or toothpicks.
4. Let it Cool: Allow the candy to cool completely before attempting to break it apart.

The Challenge:

The fun part of Dalgona lies in the challenge of breaking off pieces of the candy without breaking the desired shape. This requires skill and patience, making it a popular pastime for people of all ages.

A Taste of Nostalgia:

Dalgona is more than just a candy; it’s a nostalgic treat that evokes memories of childhood. It’s a simple pleasure that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
