Squid Game has taken the world by storm. The Korean Netflix thriller has us all enthralled, with fans already asking if there’s going to be Squid Game Season two. But there's another thing everyone wants to know right now: how to make the Squid Game cookies so you can play at home.
If you are yet to watch the show, the series sees people struggling with debt being offered a chance to change their lives. All they have to do is play six games from their childhoods and if they win, they get millions in prize money. But gamers soon realize that if they lose, they die.
Fans have been asking if the Squid Game is real, as well as the rest of the games—and the cookie game, in particular, is really easy to re-create.
The second game played in the series is probably all over your socials right now with fans trying to replicate it. Players are given a traditional South Korean candy, ‘Dalgona’, which is a caramelized cookie made from sugar.
They are given the Dalgona with a shape pressed into it and they must free the shape, using only a needle, from the rest of the circle cookie, without snapping the shape. And did we mention that Dalgona is extremely fragile?
Fans have been trying their hand at the very delicate task, to see if in the game they would win or be ‘eliminated’. So how do we make them?
