Kkultarae (or Ggultarae, Korean: 꿀타래), also known as Korean court cake, is a type of Korean dessert made with honey and maltose, as well as various fillings. Through repeated stretching (spinning) of a honey-maltose mixture, 16,384 strands are created, in which nuts, chocolates, or other mixtures can be wrapped. It has been marketed to symbolize wishes of health, longevity, and fortune to the consumer or recipient.[1]

It is the Korean equivalent of Chinese dragon's beard candy.[2]
