Movie Minion Mints

These Despicable Me Treats are the World's Cutest Tic Tacs

— August 4, 2013 — Lifestyle
These adorable Despicable Me treats are Tic Tacs that look like the minions from the movie. They appear to be painted white tic tacs that are half yellow and half blue, with goggles and varying facial expressions. True to form, some tic tac minions have two eyes while others have just one. This is a cute way to enjoy the Steve Carrell-starring franchise. The second film, Despicable Me 2, was released in theaters earlier this summer.

I'm not sure if they're still edible, but I would assume these minty minions are still great breath refreshers like the original form. Chances are you could replicate your own Despicable Me treats using food coloring, a small brush and a steady hand.
