Candy Shaped Like Lego Bricks.

By Alex in Food & Drinks, Pictures on Jan 29, 2007 at 9:19 pm


Cybele May of the Candy Blog, who probably has the best gig ever (she eats and rates candies!), found this awesome candy called Candy Blox:

They’re a compressed dextrose candy (what I call chalk candy) shaped like Lego building blocks. They’re about the same size and work the same, only without the firm snap to keep things together. Some of my little candies were actually missing their nubs, but they had enough to build little walls and stuff.

The best thing is, by the pound, they’re cheaper than Lego and taste much better!

    Oh, this stuff is awesome. I used to be a candy fanatic as a child, you could buy it in bulk at our local Bulk Barn (which is like a spice, flour, candy, chocolate in bins store where you scoop out how much you want). I used to chew off the little nubs first. Yummy stuff.

    The reason LEGO doesn't make this, is they don't want kids confusing the two.

    My 3-year-old loves this stuff, and like Jane he chews off all the nubs first...

    I had no idea that these existed. They look really cool. I actually created an Instructable on Instructables.com on how to make Gummy Lego Candies.

    It's a free tutorial. No one is making money from it so check it out and see if you would like to make some Lego shaped Gummies.

    I want to see if I can find a recipe for this kind of candy and see if I can cast it in my mold. I think it takes pressure so it might not work.

    Thanks for the heads up on these.
