If you are anything like us, you find yourself dreaming of enjoying the fictional candies from all sorts of different movies and TV shows. For example, the chocolate frogs that we have seen in the Harry Potter films have always been something that we dreamed about. The same goes for the everlasting gobstopper that we saw in the timeless classic Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

Now that Netflix has unleashed the latest cultural phenomenon on us, Squid Game, it is time to start taking a look at the candies that they have to offer.

Anyone who has spent any time at all on social media lately has probably seen talks about the Squid Game series. It’s a South Korean survival drama that has captured the attention of many. Once you have had a chance to see the show, you will understand why.

For those who have not seen the show for themselves, it is about regular people who are being asked to compete in children’s games. There is just one twist: Their actual lives are at stake. If you win the game, you are able to take home a massive cash prize. Those who lose They die.

So, how does this tie in with the recipe? There is a scene in the show where the characters are given a fragile cookie made of dalgona candy. All of the cookies have been imprinted with a certain shape.

The characters have to be able to separate it from the rest of the cookie, while ensuring that the cookie does not break. The clock is ticking as well, so time is of the essence.

Now, viewers have decided that it is time for them to make their own dalgona cookies, as you would expect. @audreysaurus is the TikTok user who has shared the recipe and it is getting plenty of views on the app. This popular street candy is all the rage in Korea, rightfully so.

The best part of all is that you only need two ingredients to make it. As long as you have baking soda and sugar, you are good to go.
