Korean Dalgona Candy Recipe with Step by Step Pictures.

Dalgona Candy

Dalgona is quite trending right now. It has went viral on the internet. After my very popular dalgona coffee recipe. I decided to make the traditional dalgona candy. It is easy and fast to make as well. First of all what is dalgona candy according to wiki.

Honeycomb toffee, sponge toffee, cinder toffee or hokey pokey is a sugary toffee with a light, rigid, sponge-like texture. Its main ingredients are typically brown sugar, corn syrup (or molasses or golden syrup in the Commonwealth of Nations) and baking soda, sometimes with an acid such as vinegar. The baking soda and acid react to form carbon dioxide which is trapped in the highly viscous mixture. When acid is not used, thermal decomposition of the baking soda releases carbon dioxide. The lattice structure is formed while the sugar is liquid, then the toffee sets hard. The candy goes by a variety of names and regional variants.

Owing to its relatively simple recipe and quick preparation time, in some regions it is often made at home, and is a popular recipe for children. It is also made commercially and sold in small blocks, or covered in chocolate, a popular example being the Crunchie bar.

Interesting right?

I decided to make it using sugar and baking soda and it was very tasty and easy as well. All you need is two ingredients and some patience.

Since i was out of lollipop stick i decided to cut skewers and use it instead of those sticks. All other recipes asked to make one lollipop out at a time. But i was little impatient so i used 3 tblspn sugar and made three to four candy at a time. it was easy too,.

Dalgona Candy

Here are few point to keep in mind before making dalgona candy

1)Cook sugar in low heat.
2)Keep stirring with a chopstick or skewer. If you use spoon it may stick to the spoon.
3)Once the sugar is melted add baking soda and mix immediately.
4)Dont caramelize the sugar else the candy will be bitter.
5)Cook on low heat till sugar melts. Sugar has to be still clear and not brown.
6)Cool the candy little before making design. If you place cookie cutter immediately then it will stick to the candy and you wont get proper design.
7)You can store this in a air tight container.

Maha loved it!
