How To Make Edible & Stackable LEGO Gummy Candy

ADVERTISEMENT

Just when you thought LEGOs couldn’t get any better, somebody comes along and creates a recipe for edible homemade gummy LEGO bricks that you can actually build with! Grant Thompson, the genius behind the ‘King Of Random’ Youtube DIY projects, posted a step-by-step recipe for how to make these awesome LEGO gummies.

The best part is that there are only two ingredients to these gummy candies – gelatin and water (though you can use flavored gelatin or Vitamin C, too). There are also separate links for creating a silicone LEGO molds, which is also a relatively easy DIY.

The cherry on top is how Thompson closes his mold so that you can actually build with these gummies! If you have very young children at home, however, consider waiting until they’re older – these gummies may encourage young children to eat real LEGO parts.

More info: Instructables | Youtube | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram (h/t: designtaxi)

You can now make edible LEGO gummies you can build with!

All you need is gelatin/Jell-O, water, and corn syrup…

…and a silicone LEGO mold, which you can buy or make

There is a beast with heart of cold stone that dashes like lightning, shreds flesh from bone. // Bewitched by this beast, I fell to my knees. My mouth babbled madness and mumbled soft pleas. // I stared down the ravenous, gnashing dark maw of a cute cuddly kitten with yarn in its paw

"The best part is that there are only 2 ingredients – gelatin and water" False. Corn Syrup would be three.

So I've followed this recipe to a tee, and I am having a hell of a time de-molding. There is no mention of lining the mold with anything prior to casting. What did you use when you made this video? Once I manage to de-mold, they are also incredibly sticky - not at all like the ones in the video.

Doesn't work. First, he doesn't say what size box of jello (looks like the small one, not sure). Next, he neglects to tell us the molds should be lightly sprayed with cooking oil, or else the pieces will stick like crazy and pull the knobs off. The Lego base on top with a book doesn't work. Just makes a sort of indented pattern. Two pkgs of plain gelatin is NOT enough. They're wobbly as everything, and will NOT stand up. Lastly, there's no way to build with these. They're way too soft. FAIL. (Instructions followed to the letter.)

NOT a good idea. Kids will eat the real plastic pieces. What were you thinking ? Wasn't that obvious ?
