A cookie to die for? Certainly a project to die for!
Fortunately, no one was ACTUALLY harmed in the making or consuming of these Squid Game Dalgona cookies, as Brandt and the Tastehead team talk us through one of the most exciting, and challenging development projects yet. As the biggest trending show on Netflix of 2023, you can imagine the excitement in the team opening the email brief - to develop and make the actual dalgona cookies to be used in the biggest reality game show ever made, Squid Game: The Challenge.
In this episode, Brandt is joined by the team behind bringing the dalgona cookies to the contestant's hands and your screens; Lucy, Tastehead project manager, Eaman, senior development chef and Paddy, junior development chef. Lifting the veil on why the brief was not as straight forward as you might imagine, from the ‘ticking time bomb’ of air exposure to the incredible precision required to achieve the desired pass rate for the challenge, the whole show hinged on the honeycomb breaking (or not) right on queue.
With $4.56 million at stake, each of the shapes had to be equally possible to successfully complete to give all of the show’s 456 contestants a fair chance to get through.
Having spent months on the project, the Tastehead team left the kitchen smelling of caramel, sugar coated and making honeycomb in their sleep, but at least there was a honeycomb old fashioned waiting for them at the end of it all.
We hope you enjoy this behind the scenes dive in to what it takes to make TV magic happen!
