In it, Homer Simpson visits a candy convention and encounters the most iconic work of gummy art, the Gummi Venus de Milo. While the candy was only a TV show myth, now you can enjoy sampling the work of gummy art thanks to artist Katy Hargrove. The candies were made using carefully crafted silicone molds to replicate the elegant sculpture in miniature form. The molds were then filled with melon-flavored Koolaid and gelatin as deliciously edible pop culture treats perfect for any fan.
