Kkul-tarae


Kkul-tarae, also known as Korean court cake, is a Korean dessert and variation of Dragon's beard candy. A hard dough of honey-maltose mixture is kneaded, twisted, and stretched into 16,384 skeins of silky threads, in which assorted candied nuts, chocolate, or other fillings are wrapped. Though commonly known and marketed as treats eaten in the royal court of Chosun dynasty, this is actually incorrect. The name Kkul-tarae was trademarked in November 7th of 2000 with intent to sell dessert similar to Dragon's beard candy in Korea.
