Heat the sugar in a small non-stick pan or ladle over low heat, stirring constantly with a skewer or chopstick until fully melted and golden.

Remove from heat and quickly mix in a pinch of baking soda. Stir until the mixture foams and turns light golden.

Pour the mixture onto a parchment-lined surface or silicone mat.

Press the candy flat using a greased plate or spatula.

Use a cookie cutter to press your desired shape (star, circle, umbrella, etc.) into the candy before it hardens—just like in Squid Game!

Let it cool, then try the fun challenge of cutting out the shape without breaking the candy.
