Candy company Lollyphile has given us quite a few less-than-appetizing suckables in the past (blue cheese or breast milk lollipop, anyone?), but their newest creation comes at the request of the masses. Your beer flavored lollipop has arrived.
If I am being honest, I can’t see a bunny without thinking: “There’s the beast!” “What, behind the rabbit?” “No, IT IS the rabbit!” Monty Python and the Holy Grail if you didn’t know. With Easter coming soon, you may be looking for some cool candy and gifts to give the geeks on your list. They would love to find the Easter bunny left this behind.
It’s called the Chocolate Zombie Bunny. It’ looks like a deadly beast that would chew out your neck in a second, but it’s actually quite docile. Despite the green color, exposed ribs, and blood leaking from the mouth of the bunny, it’s actually made from white chocolate.
This was apparently a past April Fools’ product at ThinkGeek, and it has now turned into something real you can buy for $9.99(USD). Even better, spend $25 on other stuff and you can get one free while supplies last. Now get out there and lop its head off before it gets you with its nasty, big pointy teeth.
Love LEGO? What about Kit Kat bars? If you love both, you’ll be happy to learn that the marketing team for Nestlé’s Kit Kat candy bar brand has created a custom LEGO set. That’s right, your favorite candy and your favorite toy are now one. All is right with the world.
This set lets users build Kit Kat bars, but that is not all. They hid extra minifigs inside the bars, and even included a bunch of extra designs that they came up with using the same pieces. In other words, it is just like a real LEGO set. And it comes in an official-looking box too.
Unfortunately, the set isn’t available in stores, and was just created as a promotional stunt for the brand.

Japan gets all the cool stuff. Take KitKats, for instance. In Japan they have introduced all kinds of flavors in the past – like blueberry cheesecake, soybean, red chilli, wasabi and more. And Nestle is not through innovating yet. Now they have introduced a KitKat that you have to bake in the oven.
This new KitKat treat really takes the cake. It sounds pretty awesome. The top layer of the pudding flavored mini KitKat melts when heated and fuses with the wafer-biscuit giving it a dark brown texture and hopefully a great taste. These cakes are slated to hit Japan’s KitKat cafe on March 24th and will be sold for a ¥500 (~$5 USD).

Game of Thrones fans, do you prefer candy or cake? With this tasty version of Winterfell, you don’t have to choose. It has both.
It’s easy to survive long winters when the snow is powdered sugar and you can lick the castle walls. If you want to make this bad boy for yourself, check out the Instructables guide. The project looks pretty involved, but the result is totally worth it.
Of course, Eddard Stark would never think about eating his castle, after taking so long to build it, but I ain’t Eddard Stark, so give me a fork.

Valentines day is upon us. It is time to once again prove your love by buying sweets and flowers. Why not put those sweets directly into a cake and make your valentine fall into a sugar induced coma?
This cake is shaped like a candy heart and it has actual candy hearts inside. I can’t imagine a more heartfelt Valentine’s gift. It was made by Beth Jackson Klosterboer and is basically a cake piñata, but don’t whack it with a stick.
Just cut a slice and your candy hearts will all spill out. This is some serious sugar here though. I’m getting a sugar-high just looking at it.

Can’t get enough of the taste of beer? Well, forget swigging down pints and pints of liquid. Now you can get the taste you crave from jelly beans. That’s right, jelly beans. Just in time for the Super Bowl, Jelly Belly has announced that it’s adding a hefeweizen inspired Draft Beer flavored jelly bean to its lineup.
Jelly Belly says that “beer has been a highly-requested flavor for decades” – of course it is. The final beer flavor took about three years to perfect, but now they have it. The Draft Beer flavor jelly bean has a golden color with an iridescent finish. Sadly, it won’t foam slightly when you bite it. C’mon, this is jelly bean technology, not a miracle.
They describe the flavor as “clean with notes of wheat and a touch of sweetness” with a “mildly bready” aroma. And no, there is no alcohol in the new jelly beans. All the taste, none of the awkward drunken pranks that you are used to.

Purveyor of all things candy, Hershey, just made the delicious announcement that it will be making 3D-printed sweets in the future using machines from 3D Systems. Is your mouth watering?

Valentine’s Day is coming soon and if you want to get your love a special geeky treat, these delicious personalized M&Ms could be the way to go. Not only are they delicious candy, each tiny, chocolate, M&M comes with a personalized message printed onto its surface.
You can go all Han and Leia with “I LOVE YOU. I KNOW.” or the always popular Marty McFly an “I AM YOUR DENSITY.” Princess Bride junkies can go with “AS YOU WISH.” or Avatar fans might like “I SEE YOU.” Just about anything you can fit into 18 characters can be printed onto these M&Ms – though it probably has to be clean. Also, “I AM THE GATEKEEPER” won’t fit.
You can also include clip art or upload images. Your custom candies will have a unique message and more importantly, they taste great. This is a gift that they will remember for years, or at least until they’ve eaten all of them. Order your custom M&Ms over at mymms.com.
Normally, you wouldn’t want to have a cannon aimed at your face, much less a cannon that can see your face and follow it around. But a team of mechanical and electrical engineering students at Olin College decided to challenge that notion with their marshmallow-firing Confectionary Cannon. It’s worth getting in this sucker’s sights.
