# DIY Edible LEGO How to Create Your Own Brick-Shaped Candy Made of Jell-O By Katie Cordrey | Published 2009-03-16 | Life-Stages Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-gummies-diy-legummies-brick-shaped-gelatin-candy References: [instructables](http://www.instructables.com/id/LeGummies_brick_shaped_gummy_candies) 'LeGummies' are [gummi-like candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jell-o-2) made to look like [LEGO](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-gogo) toy bricks. This is accomplished by creating a silicone mold from actual [toy LEGO bricks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-6) and filling it with a gelatin (Jell-o) concoction. After they sit for awhile, they achieve a candy consistency. I like these mostly because they're pretty, but can you imagine trying to keep kids from playing with them? They'd be irresistible! SFHandyman has posted the directions on the instructables website. **Implications** - What crazy Jell-o LEGO creations would you create? Personally, I would just be so overjoyed to have edible LEGO that I'd probably just build a brick and scarf down the whole thing. Who needs to be creative when there's Jell-o involved? ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 50% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/toys) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Edible Toy Craze:** The rise of DIY edible creations like the 'LeGummies' presents opportunities for unique edible toy products that appeal to both children and adults. - **Food as a Play Thing:** The concept of using food as a playful medium, such as creating LEGO-inspired candy, opens up possibilities for innovative food-based products and experiences. - **Interactive Edible Designs:** The combination of food and interactive design, as seen in the making of the 'LeGummies,' offers potential for new forms of edible art and entertainment. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Toy Industry:** The toy industry can explore the production of edible toy products that enhance the play experience and offer a unique twist to traditional toys. - **Confectionery Industry:** The confectionery industry can tap into the demand for DIY edible creations and develop innovative candy products that cater to the growing audience interested in food-based play. - **Food and Beverage Industry:** The food and beverage industry can experiment with incorporating interactive design into edible products, creating novel culinary experiences and engaging consumers in a unique way. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Brick Toy-Inspired Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-gogo.md) - [Buildable Gummy Blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amos-4d-gummy-blocks.md) - [Sour Candy Squares](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jello-candy-squares.md) - [Edible Slime Candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slime-candy.md) - [Buildable Game Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-lego-connect-4.md) - [Colorful Gelatin Dessert-Inspired Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-jelly-collection.md) - [Edible Adventure Game Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gummyquest.md) - [LEGO-Inspired Hourglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-hourglass.md) - [Nostalgic Movie Brick Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/willy-wonka-the-chocolate-factory-lego.md)
