Have You Tried Candy Blox?!

// February 1st, 2011 // 1 Comment » // Candy Art

I haven’t yet.. They look so yummy!! They are little candy blocks like the shape of LEGOS..I know just from reading the descriptions online that this would be a favorite.

Candy Blox, Concord look and play just like the classic building block toy, you can eat your delicious candy buildings when they’re finished. Hard candy treats that look just like Lego’s. You can actually stack them like blocks and then eat them. They are fruity flavored and slightly tart.

Based on the reviews from Amazon.com,  I bet they are yummy because I love tart and sour like candy.

The kids at my son’s 7th Birthday loved these sweet-tart flavored, stackable, Lego-like candies, perfect for kids parties.

My Son had a Lego themed B-day party and as the kids stragled in I sat them at the table and gave them a bag(labeled with names) of these block candies. They busied themselves with building and eating. When everyone arrived I set a timer and had them build the talest stack of candy they could by the time the buzzer went off. The party started off with the apparent Lego theme, an activity, a game, and leftovers for the goodie bag! I would buy them again….I did not buy from this particular company.

As Valentines is coming up there are so many fun things that you could do with these blocks! Just like the LEGO pieces, your imagination is key to a nice construction. I wonder if they have little action figures!!

If you’ve tried them let me know! Have a Happy Tuesday

Just kidding!! However, I was traveling recently and I what I saw was so original. The German Airline TuiFly candy art by Haribo!!

Isn’t that neat!!! I looked in the air and I said to myself, well isn’t that the Haribo Bear! If I had a choice, I would definitely like to fly on the Bear!

The airline has the gold haribo gummy bears colors as well. When you’re traveling be sure to be on the lookout! It is very original!

Once I get settled in, I’ll post new candy reviews! My apologies!

Candy Wrapper Handbags

// January 20th, 2010 // No Comments » // Candy Art

How unique! Candy Wrapper hand bags! I’ve seen candy wrapper bracelets but never handbags. I would love a Skittles candy wrapper hand bag. Skittles was one of the first candies that I remembered as a child and I’m sure it was because of the “Taste the Rainbow” flavors and colors. These bags don’t come cheap at all. Handbag maker Nahui Ollin has a large collection of unique hand bags that of course include the candy wrapper made.

Here is a quote from the website:

ALL of our materials (Candy wrappers, gum wrappers and soda bottle labels) are factory rejects from independent manufactures and have never been used. These same materials were certain to be sent to a land fill or garbage dump only to pollute the earth more! Not only does the process sustain the environmentally-friendly practice of recycling, it also yields creatively-fresh, long lasting and innovative products.

Made from up to 4000 individual candy wrappers, each piece is passionately and patiently hand made by craftsmen and follows the same process of folding, weaving, and sewing, which can take up to 4 days to complete. And while the bags are indeed made from candy wrappers, gum wrappers and soda bottle labels, they stand the test of time and weather for tear-free, long term durability. What you once would have discarded without hesitation, has been transformed and reshaped into the next must have fashion accessory.

The best selling candy wrapper hand bags can be found at the website: Nahui Ollin.com…

• Shoulder bags
• Hand bags
• Convertible bags
• Messenger bags
• Clutch and evening bags
• Wristlets and cutlets

After reviewing more of the website, they have a new type of bag and its made from Newspaper! How dificult that must be to make. However, its art and I LOVE IT!
