Customized Galactic Gummies

These Homemade Star Wars Candy Gummies Are Made from Chewy Bears

— October 2, 2015 — Lifestyle
If you're a fan of Star Wars chances are you gravitate towards anything edible and themed after the intergalactic film series like these homemade Star Wars candy gummies. These decadent treats are super simple to make and use pre-made gummy bears as the base.

The YouTube tutorial by Grant Thompson showcases how to make your favorite Star Wars characters from Darth Vader to Han Solo from edible sweets. The project begins with several silicone ice cube molds in a variety of designs inspired by your most beloved characters from the Star Wars saga. The molds are filled with microwave melted gummy bears and left to cool. Once done, the Star Wars gummies can be popped from the tray and enjoyed. These would make great homemade Halloween candies to give out to trick-or-treaters.
Trend Themes
1. Edible Pop Culture-inspired Gummies - The trend of creating edible pop-culture-inspired gummies is disrupting the confectionery industry and creating opportunities for innovative customization and experiential marketing strategies.
2. Novelty DIY Confectionery - The trend of DIY confectionery with silicone molds and pre-made candy is disrupting the snack and confectionery retail market and allowing for unique product differentiation opportunities.
3. Character-based Food Art - The trend of creating food art that features popular characters from media franchises like Star Wars is disrupting the culinary industry and inspiring innovative forms of culinary expression.
Industry Implications
1. Confectionery - The confectionery industry should consider investing in 3D-printed mold technology to allow customers to customize their own gummies and chocolates with their favorite pop culture characters.
2. DIY Home Baking - The DIY home baking industry should explore offering unique silicone molds and pre-made candy assortments for people to create their own novelty confectionery at home.
3. Food and Beverage Marketing Consulting - Marketing consulting agencies should offer experiential marketing strategies that incorporate pop culture-inspired edible creations to increase brand engagement and consumer loyalty.
