Old-Fashioned Korean Sugar Candy - Bbopki

When I went to elementary school in Korea, there was a bbopki vendor outside my school. 
So I sometimes stopped by the bbopki vendor after school.
After school, my friends and I gathered around the vendor and watched him make sugar candy by melting sugar, mixing it up and adding baking soda.
The bbopki vendor had a lot of stamps for candy. So, I selected my favorite stamps, star shape or hat shape, because I could get another bbopki for free if I managed to eat around the shape without breaking it.
Eating bbopki is one of my good memories. :)


Ingredients
Sugar of your choice, not sugar substitutes 
Baking Soda

Directions
Heat 3Tbs of sugar in a ladle and melt it until it becomes pure liquid by stirring it with wood stick.
When the sugar completely melts, add a pinch of baking soda and mix well.
Empty contents of ladle onto foil or a baking sheet sprinkled with sugar. Press it and stamp with your favorite shape!

You can eat sugar candy and play the game together with your family and friends!
