These DIY Gummy LEGOs Are GENIUS
YouTuber Grant Thompson — a.k.a. ‘The King Of Random” — created a highly customizable gummy base using corn syrup, gelatin, and Jell-O packs. Simply inject the concoction into Lego ice molds (like these), and voilà — you've got yourself a chewy, translucent version of the construction toy. The best part? These treats retain the stackability of the real thing, which opens up a world of opportunities for mini architectural wonders you can also snack on.
