Yes, Blue Cheese Lollipops Exist Now

Love lollipops? Have a taste for blue cheese? Then you’ll probably love gourmet lollipop company Lollyphile’s newest offering: blue cheese lollipops. Lollyphile is known for coming up with unusual, if not sometimes scandalous lollipop flavors, like Sriracha and Breast Milk (ewww.)

The blue cheese lollipops were only recently launched, along with a series of promotional images that can be described as downright scary. I get that they’re going with a blue theme, given that it’s blue cheese and all, but I don’t think they had to go and use Effie Trinket as their model.

Blue Cheese Lollipops

The lollipops are described as being “sharp, tasty, and edgy.” Since blue cheese is often paired with honey, it was apparently easy to combine both flavors to make the lollipop into a reality.

Lollyphile’s owner, Jason Darling, explains that the blue cheese lollipops “started off as a joke.” He adds: “I was initially scared to try them. My partner, Maria, wasn’t, and she instantly declared it to be delicious. Once I was convinced that she wasn’t pranking me I took a taste, and I had no choice but to agree with her. They’re delicious. I mean, if you like blue cheese. And who doesn’t?”

If your taste buds are up to the challenge, you can order up a batch of blue cheese lollies starting at $10(USD) over at Lollyphile.

TAKARA TOMY A.R.T.S – Chupa Chups “ice candy” maker

You can basically make a 6cm diameter popsicle with this machine, combining a lollipop and the beverage of your choice.
You simply put a Chupa Chups into the machine and fill with a warmed beverage (warmed juice, milk, soy milk, etc.) and rotate the body with the attached handle to make the candy …

Eye of Sauron Lollipops: Lick into My Eye!

One does not simply walk into the candy store. Though if you did, I’d hope that you and your companions would grab a batch of these spectacular lollipops that look like the Eye of Sauron.

They’re made by Etsy artist Designer Lollipop, and they’re made from isomalt, sugar, corn syrup. I’ve been told the black sugar on back is made from the souls of the dead- though they actually taste like delicious cherry.

Unfortunately, these lollies are already sold, but I’m sure you could whip up a spell to convince the candy maker to crank out another batch.

My only complaint is that the most awesome-looking planet – Saturn – made for the lamest-looking lolly. Also I can’t differentiate the three bluish ones.

Vintage Confections is selling the lollipops for $17.50 (USD) per 10 pieces. You can specify the flavor of each candy, so be sure to make Earth extra delicious! Whoops, as Vintage Confections mentioned in the comments, you can specify the flavor per order of 10 pieces, not for each piece.

Ninja Cake Pops: Are You Quick Enough to Pop Them in Your Mouth?

I have a thing for cake pops. There’s just something so delicious about the idea of a piece of cake you can eat anytime, anywhere – like a lollipop. Whoever invented the cake pop should win a Nobel prize as far as I’m concerned. My favorite cake pops of the day have to be these ones, shaped like little ninjas.

They’re made by SoSweetPops, and come in an assortment of hooded red and black ninja heads, filled with your choice of chocolate, red velvet, vanilla, yellow, carrot, birthday, or strawberry cake. Yum. Strawberry shinobi! My only concern about these cake pops is that ninjas have been known to pull off some serious defensive maneuvers – so they might try and punch their way out of your mouth when you go to eat one. Or they might not even let you get that far.
