Crack the Challenge with the Squid Games Dalgona Cookie – Now Part of YEG Exotic’s New Squid Game Collection!
If you’ve ever wanted to step into the high-stakes world of Squid Game—minus the deadly consequences—YEG Exotic is making that possible (in the sweetest way possible). Introducing the Squid Games Dalgona Cookie, a viral treat straight from the hit Korean series, now available as part of our new Squid Game collection. This candy is more than just a snack—it’s an edible challenge, an Instagrammable moment, and a nostalgic nod to Korean street treats all wrapped in one.
At YEG Exotic, we specialize in tracking down bold, international snacks and flavours you won’t find anywhere else. Whether you’re a diehard Squid Game fan or just love unique candy, this one is a must-try.
What Is the Squid Games Dalgona Cookie?
The Dalgona cookie (also known as ppopgi) is a traditional Korean candy made from melted sugar and baking soda. It’s light, crisp, and subtly sweet with a texture that cracks under pressure—literally. Popular in Korean street markets for decades, this treat shot to global fame thanks to Netflix’s Squid Game, where it featured in one of the most nerve-wracking challenges in the series.
The goal? Carefully carve out the shape pressed into the candy (like a star, umbrella, or circle) without cracking the entire cookie. It’s not as easy as it looks—but it’s a lot more fun when the stakes are edible.
A Treat That’s Fun, Tasty, and Totally Shareable
Part of the appeal of the Squid Games Dalgona Cookie is how interactive it is. You’re not just snacking—you’re playing. Challenge your friends, film a TikTok, or simply savour the light caramelized taste of a candy that’s making waves across the world.
At YEG Exotic, we love carrying products that spark conversations, and the Dalgona cookie is the perfect blend of nostalgia, novelty, and culture. It’s one of those rare snacks that connects you to another part of the world through both flavour and story.
Why You’ll Find It at YEG Exotic
YEG Exotic is Edmonton’s go-to destination for global sweets and drinks, and the new Squid Game collection is just one example of our commitment to staying ahead of the snack game. With three locations across the city—West Edmonton, South Edmonton, and Whyte Ave—we make it easy for you to discover exclusive finds like the Dalgona cookie.
Whether you're stopping in for your favourite Edmonton pop, stocking up on Edmonton candy, or just browsing for something unexpected, we promise a snack experience like no other. This Dalgona candy is a perfect fit for what we’re all about: rare treats, bold flavours, and global fun.
Limited Edition & Selling Fast
These cookies are imported in small batches and tend to sell out quickly. Because of their fragility and popularity, we recommend stopping by soon if you want to grab one (or a few). They make great gifts, party game ideas, or additions to your snack collection.
We’ve even seen customers turn these into party challenges or classroom games (safe ones, of course!)—just another reason why this candy is more than just food; it’s an experience.
