Without putting your life on the line.
Sharpen your needles, squid game fans: there’s a Korean cafe in North Melbourne that sells dalgona candy.
If you haven’t binge-watched Netflix sensation Squid Game yet, the show is essentially a terrifying hybrid of reality TV and Battle Royale style survivalism.
Hundreds of cash-strapped players accept an anonymous invitation to compete for untold riches in a series of increasingly creepy challenges based on children’s games, like red light, green light. The penalty for failure? Death.
In one challenge, contestants are given dalgona candy — toffee-like honeycomb candies are sweet circles, usually stamped with a basic design, like a triangle, circle or umbrella — and tasked with removing a centre shape from it without breaking the candy.

Now, Palette, a local korean cafe in North Melbourne has opted to create and sell its own dalgona candies.
The dalgona candies are available in-store on weekends for a limited time only, so Melbourne-based Squid Game fanatics can try the challenge at home.
Thankfully, the only penalty for failing to meet the challenge is… broken dalgona candy.
Palette is located at 610 Queensberry St, North Melbourne VIC 3051.
