Servings: 3 Dalgona Candies
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar granulate white sugar will also work!
- 1/8 tsp baking soda
Equipment needed
- Parchment paper
- Wide measuring cup or a bowl with a flat bottom
- Coconut oil or any other cooking oil
- Small saucepan
- 2 metal spoons
- Cookie cutters or the exact Squid Game candy kit
Instructions
- Before you begin, prep your equipment: Place a parchment paper on a flat, sturdy surface. Grease the bottom of a measuring cup or bowl generously with coconut oil and set aside. Have the cookie cutters on hand so they are easily reachable.
- Add coconut sugar to the saucepan and heat over medium heat. Continuously stir with a metal spoon, and the sugar will start melting and become liquified in about 2 minutes.
- Work quickly for the next 3 steps: Turn off heat and stir in baking soda. The mixture will become light caramel in color and start frothing.
- Spoon out 1/3 of the mixture on the parchment paper using 2 spoons to scrape the sticky melted sugar from one another. Immediately flatten it into a circle with the bottom of the greased bowl, then quickly use a cookie cutter to stamp an outline in the center without going all the way through.
- Repeat the previous step two more time.
- Cool completely for about 10 minutes. Enjoy!
