  • Dalgona Candy Recipe (Ppopgi)

What is Dalgona Candy?

Dalgona Candy with different fun patterns  on a serving board.

It is called ppopgi locally or also known as Honeycomb Toffee. This Korean street snack was popularized by the world-famous Netflix series Squid Game. It is simply made of melted sugar and baking soda shaped into round candies stamped with different patterns in the middle. It is a fun snack because, aside from enjoying its sweetness, you also have a mission to accomplish! The goal is to extract the patterned mold without breaking it. Traditionally, you get another free candy to enjoy if you complete the task. 

Ingredients Needed

Ingredients for Dalgona candy
  • Sugar- I used white sugar in this recipe. You can also use light brown if that is what you have. Make sure to run it through a sieve to loosen up lumps!
  • Baking Soda- adding this to the melted sugar will make it puff up and give it that crumbly, brittle texture!

Foxy Tips for you!

Steps on how to make Dalgona Candy.
  • Use low heat only because the sugar tends to overcook easily when in high heat. Constant stirring is also required to prevent lumps from forming and the sugar from burning.
  • You can also use a metal ladle instead of a small pan to melt the sugar and make the ppopgi mixture.
  • Make sure to grease your metal pusher, or else the dalgona mixture will stick and ruin the shape.
  • Let the dalgona mixture cool a bit before pressing it into shape. If it is still warm when you press it, it will simply stick and create a mess.
  • Let it harden before peeling the parchment paper off to ensure it does not break.
  • To prevent sticky hands when enjoying your Dalgona Coffee, you can place them on a stick and make dalgona candy lollipops!
