Last year, Malaysians went crazy over the South Korean whipped beverage called Dalgona coffee.

Now, thanks to the popular South Korean fictional drama Squid Game, Malaysians are sharing recipes on how to make Dalgona candy on social media platforms like TikTok, Facebook and YouTube.

A video uploaded on the Cikidot Channel on YouTube has garnered over 334,000 views since it was first uploaded two weeks ago.

It shows YouTuber Mohd Afzarul Dzarif Mohd Mazlee attempting to make the candy using melted sugar and soda bicarbonate. The toffee is then flattened and then stamped with a patterned mould.Mohd Afzarul Dzarif Mohd Mazlee (second from left) and his co-hosts  attempting to make and crack Dalgona candies on his YouTube channel Cikidot Channel.
