Dalgona (달고나) or ppopgi (뽑기) is a Korean candy made with melted sugar and baking soda originating from South Korea.

[3] When a pinch of baking soda is mixed into melted sugar, the thermal decomposition of the baking soda releases carbon dioxide, which makes the liquidized sugar puff up and becomes a light and crunchy candy once cooled and hardened.

[4] Traditionally, if this trimming is completed without breaking the candy, the consumer receives another free dalgona from the seller.

[10][11] Sales have doubled for dalgona street vendors as foreigners become more interested in the candy.

[12][13] People have also taken to social media such as TikTok and YouTube to make their own candy at home as a challenge and as a cooking recipe.
