Kkul-tarae (꿀타래; lit. "honey skein"), also known as Korean court cake, is a Korean dessert and a variation of Dragon's beard candy which originated in China.[1] A hard dough of honey-maltose mixture is kneaded, twisted, stretched and pulled into skeins of silky threads, in which assorted candied nuts, chocolate, or other fillings are wrapped.[2] The name kkul-tarae was trademarked in November 7th of 2000 with intent to sell dessert similar to Dragon's beard candy in Korea.[3]
