Korean Honeycomb Toffee | a.k.a. Mega Dalgona

★Online Classes★
For more online classes please visit: hanbitcho.com/course/
Korean honeycomb candy is very similar to the dalgona from Squid Game, but it requires more baking soda and is usually made into a much larger size.
By the way, here is the Squid Game Dalgona Candy video: • [Squid Game] Dalgona C...
Just in case you're looking for the dalgona kit: amzn.to/3FnH1IL
▶Korean Honeycomb Toffee (mega dalgona)◀
Sugar (white sugar) 100g
Water 30ml
Baking Soda 3g (this ranges between 2.5~5g)
① Boil the sugar & water in a saucepan until you reach a light brown (amber colour) add the baking soda
② Stir it well.
③ Pour it onto parchment paper/silicon mat.
⊙How to store/Shelf life⊙
Dalgona is not meant to be left outside for days - not because it goes off (it won’t) but because it’ll become sticky very quickly, especially in humid conditions. It’s easy & quick to make a dalgona candy, so just make enough to be eaten within a few hours! It you must store it, then store it in the freezer for weeks. (although it’ll become sticky when it comes out of the freezer)

★ABOUT ME★
Hi! I’m Hanbit, professional pastry chef and CEO of Sugar Lane Baking Academy based in Seoul, Korea. Funny enough, my background had nothing to do with baking - far from it. I studied mathematics at university and then worked in finance, strategy consulting and IT. Then one day in 2018, I quit my job and enrolled at a pastry school. I have loved it ever since!
As my story suggests, I really enjoy being a pastry chef and I am keen to share the joy of baking with as many people as possible. Baking can seem daunting at first but as long as you take it step-by-step anyone can do it - even someone with no baking background like myself managed to become a professional pastry chef!
I'll try my best to include detailed explanations and tips in my recipes so that you will be able to bake amazing desserts. I aim to create videos that can be enjoyed by people at all levels - those who bake for fun as well as those who want to get more serious.

I love all the explanations. I learned so much from you. Thank you!

[@HanbitCho]

Happy to help!

[@liviechung5078]

Hey Hanbit, many thanks for an absolutely fantastic demonstration on Mega Dalgona. Rest assure you're not the only guy out there studying the intricate details to a well-made dalgona. I have done so just as you did for the uncountable pieces I've made & also for comparisons with low-carb sugar alternatives to serve to others who are diet-restricted or sugar sensitive, so they won't miss out on little sweet pleasures too !

[@HanbitCho]

Cool, thanks!

Hi Hanbit, many thanks for the video and explanations! Can you please help with 2 questions? 1. What temperature should the caramel reach? (I prefer measuring over eyeballing the color) 2. How do you clean up the sauce pan and spatula? 😋 Will the leftovers melt easily with boiling water? Looking forward to your next videos!

[@HanbitCho]

1. it's difficult to measure it - but it'll be around 190C 2. oh it'll melt easily in hot water - it's just sugar in the end.

[@msfoodlicious]

Stirred it, like there's no tomorrow 🤣. I'm trying to make dalgona a long time a go, and end up burning the sugar, so i stop making it. Totally will try your recipe. Thk u!

Do the ratios apply if I want to make a larger batch. e.g times 2 the recipe. What does it mean when the dalgona forms but too brittle you can break it by poking it so structure is weak? water content?

yep

Hi chef hanbit! Today is a particularly humid day in my country and it did not become dalgona. Will it really deflate or is it my doing? I've made this before and it was fine. Now it wont comply :(

hmm not sure. it still should work even if it's humid.

Hi just want to ask what is the best option to store it and keep it crunchy? I tried to store it in fridge but it became moist.

[@HanbitCho]

oh it's difficult to keep it crunchy.

[@gaze2156]

Another piece of advice: be very careful with the mixture at all stages of the recipe. Molten sugar is wicked on its own, but when it's rapidly expanding and frothing from the baking soda, it will be easier to get it on yourself. Be VERY careful while mixing and pouring, and do NOT touch it until it has completely cooled.

[@HanbitCho]

yep!

Does the temperature of the sugar strictly needs to be room temp? Last couple of times I made it, the sugar was straight out of the fridge and it started to crystalize before it achieved any color. I didn't even stir it a single bit.

oh hmm, i think it'll be ok.

[@melvianzvj]

Halo chef..can you explain why.. during the process of making the honeycomb, chef does not stir or mix to mix the sugar and honey? but when chef needs to add baking soda, chef stirs it...chef can you please explain? I means, will it disturb the homeycomb taste? If we stir it during the proses?

[@HanbitCho]

hello!

[@Mnemozin]

I tried making it twice. First attempt turned out to be quite flat, so on the second one i tried adding more baking soda (1 teaspoon for 150g of sugar). The second attempt had much more volume and color looked just right, but air bubbles were tiny and it had strong baking soda aftertaste. How come bubbles in my were tiny, like in latte foam; and not big, like in honeycomb?

[@HanbitCho]

it's all about the caramel and the timing - it's fairly tricky.
