Dalgona () or ppopgi () is a candy made with melted sugar and baking soda originating in South Korea. It is a popular street snack from the 1960s and is still eaten as a retro food.
When a pinch of baking soda is mixed into melted sugar, the thermal decomposition of the baking soda releases carbon dioxide, which makes the liquidized sugar puff up and becomes a light and crunchy candy once cooled and hardened.
