For some folks, watching "Squid Game" isn’t enough.

The hit South Korean drama has led viewers to start a "dalgona candy challenge" on TikTok, where fans recreate the show’s sweet but deadly treat.

Solid dalgona candy is different from dalgona coffee, which became all the rage at the start of the coronavirus pandemic.

Instead of being made from whipped instant coffee, the dalgona candies people are making are thin brittle pieces made from melted sugar.

In episode 3 of "Squid Game," contestants are challenged with a "honeycomb" game, which requires players to perfectly carve out embossed shapes from pieces of dalgona candy – a brittle treat made from sugar and baking soda.

In "Squid Game," the candies are a part of a carving challenge that has unfortunate consequences for contestants who are unable to perfectly whittle out its embossed shapes.

Outside the nine-episode series, the carving game is a legitimate children’s game that’s played in South Korea – sans gory demises.

Many reportedly know the game by the same name that’s used in the show – "honeycomb.".

The hashtag associated with the dalgona candy challenge has more than 5 million views. .
