How To Make Dalgona Candy: A Delicious and Easy Recipe!
I’ve loved dalgona candy since I was a kid. Every time I had a chance, I would sneak a handful of the sweet treat from the jar my mom kept on top of the fridge. The chocolate and buttery goodness have been my favorite for as long as I can remember. Now I am excited to share my family's recipe with you. In this post, you will learn how to make delicious dalgona candy—a perfect snack for any occasion!
Ingredients:
-1 1/2 cups white sugar
-1/4 cup butter
-1 tbsp water
-1 tbsp vanilla extract
-1 tsp salt
-chocolate chips or chunks (milk or dark)
-chocolate bar for melting (I used milk chocolate).
Ingredients and Preparation
-Melt the white sugar, butter, water, vanilla extract, and salt in a medium pot.
-Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
-Cook for 2 minutes at a rolling boil.
-Remove from heat. Add chocolate chips or chunks. Stir until melted.
Directions
1. Start by melting your chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt the butter and mix with sugar, vanilla, and salt until it forms a golden brown caramel.
2. Pour this mixture into a 9x13 square pan lined with parchment paper and press the caramel evenly across the bottom of the pan.
3. Add your favorite chocolate chips or chunks (I used milk chocolate) and press them into the caramel layer before placing them in the fridge for about 30 minutes or until set.
4. Melt your favorite flavor of the chocolate bar using a microwave-safe bowl and pour over top Algona candy bars so that it is barely touching the top edge of the parchment paper, but not spilling over onto it.
5. Place back in the fridge for another 20-30 minutes or until set and then cut into squares to serve!
How to Make the Candy
-Combine sugar, butter, water, vanilla extract, and salt in a pot over medium heat.
-Stir constantly until the mixture starts to boil.
-Continue stirring for about 5 minutes or until it reaches 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
-Remove from heat and pour the mixture into a bowl with chocolate chips/chunks.
-Mix until all of the chocolate has melted then stir in your favorite flavor of the chocolate bar (I used milk chocolate).
-Pour the liquid mixture onto wax paper or parchment paper on a sheet pan lined with waxed paper so that it is flat. Cool for about 45 minutes to an hour before cutting into squares or rectangles of the desired size.
