You make Tanghulu by grabbing the fruit you want and putting it on skewers. You then want to create a syrup by boiling sugar and water, and sticking the fruit into the syrup. You then let the fruit harden.

First and foremost, we must mention the simplicity of the steps in Tanghulu. There really isn't that much to it. You can make this fun trend very quickly once you get the hang of it.  Secondly, it's satisfying. Who doesn't love a nice crunch? Not to mention, it's pretty good ASMR.

Surprisingly, there isn't too many downsides. The one con though, is that when your first learning how to make Tanghulu, the syrup can be one of the hardest things to master. You don't really want to stir it that much, or boil it for too long. It's recommended to use a thermometer so then you can accurately tell when the syrup is done.
