Netizens are mass-producing sugar honeycomb caramel pancakes from the TV series Squid Game. The heroes of the show needed to cut out the given figures from such sweets without breaking them, and the reward for a successful test was life. However, fans of the series found in real life something more complicated than cinematic sweetness.

Round candies made from homemade caramel called "Sugar Honeycomb" became popular with netizens after the release of the South Korean survival series Squid Game ("Squid Game"). In it, as Medialeaks previously wrote, 456 volunteers compete for 45.6 billion Korean won (more than 2.8 billion rubles), playing children's games and putting their lives on the line.

The organizers of the competition made Sugar Honeycombs one of the deadly tests for the heroes. The participants were given round tin cans, inside each there was a needle and a caramel cake with outlines of the contour of figures – a triangle, a square, a circle, a star, a heart or an umbrella. These figures had to be scratched out of caramel in ten minutes without breaking. Those who were in time got life, and those who did not fit in on time or broke caramel – a bullet.

Due to the worldwide popularity of the show, the caramel challenge has caught the interest of many TikTok users, and they have started making their own sweet cakes to see if they could survive in the show's universe or not. The hashtag #squidgamecandy has already gained over 367 million views on the social network, and under it you can find many videos of cooking "squid".

How to cook "Sugar Honeycomb"? To get such a candy, you need to heat a saucepan over medium heat and pour half a glass of sugar into it, evenly distributing it along the bottom. As soon as the sugar begins to dissolve, you need to reduce the heat and mix the resulting liquid well, and when it acquires a light golden hue of honey, remove it from the stove and add 1/8 teaspoon of baking soda.

Then you need to diligently mix the mass until it stops foaming and bubbling. While the resulting paste is still warm, you need to give it a round shape by simply pouring it gently onto the board or by pressing it on top with a plate. The imprint of the figure can be made with a regular cookie cutter.

If you overexpose the sugar on fire, it will start to burn and darken, which is why the structure of the future candy will turn out to be wrong, and it will come out dark or, like some tiktokers, too brittle.

However, not all bloggers are suitable for testing seriously and play humorous scenes with "sugar cells", for example, as spider_slacwho forced the hero of his roller to be mistaken in the test, while not breaking the figure.

Some ticocers found a reminder of "sugar cells" in real life and replaced them in their video on the spirals from mosquitoes, which are sometimes sold in pairs in the package and are connected to each other. After that, disconnect them without damaging, is not easy. Such a "Game in Squid" or, more precisely, in Komar, it seemed a funny resident of Argentina with Nick Fagoz..
