“’Squid Games’ Candy Challenge” Leaves Kids Severely Burned

Kids Severely Burned in “Squid Games” Candy Challenge

A hospital had issued a warning to parents of children who watch the hit Netflix show ‘Squid Games’:  Be very wary and ultra-careful of the dalgona candy-cooking method!

Dalgona is a South Korean candy, made from melted sugar.  It was recently featured on the show.  And now, a new “Dalgona Candy Challenge” encourages viewers to make their own candy, by carving out a shape without breaking it.

However, some kids have suffered from serious burns in the process of making the candy, as “sugar melts at a temperature that is higher than what’s needed to boil water.”  Doctors urge parents to supervise their children – especially in the kitchen.
