DIY: How to make your own edible cryptobiotes!
This candy kit is a Ramune candy maker from Poppin Cookin! This is a super cute kit! I got a forest themed mold which was adorable and I’m actually keeping it as a chocolate mold!
To make this you open the packs of powder and add a scoop of water to each one then stir with the wooden rod. Then you take the mixed red, yellow and blue powder and stir them to make orange, green and purple. The powders then get pressed in the mold to make whatever design you want. It’s very simple with the most difficult part being getting the powders into the mold which takes some patience. Overall, it’s very fun though!
The taste isn’t bad either. It’s all vaguely fruity and like a slightly moist ramune candy. Really not bad. I would still pick a pack of pre-made ramune candy over making it myself, but this is still good!
I actually think this candy would be really good for someone with small children. It’s simple and teaches mixing colours and basic shapes which can be helpful in teaching (*ﾟ▽ﾟ*) and if you’re an adult like me, I would still say this is worth a shot!

This was a super adorable and simple DIY kit. The package was super cute with a very princess-like Hello Kitty, lots of gems and filigree and plenty of pink! Just my style!
Inside you get the mixing powder (also in a very pretty package) a straw and a cute little cup! There are two designs and I got the one with Hello Kitty sitting in a heart which is the one I wanted.
To make the kit you just fill the cup with water to the line marked on it, pour in the powder and stir. The drink turns pink and foamy! I initially thought there may be something wrong with mine because it didn’t foam immediately but if you keep stirring it will happen eventually.
The drink itself was a sort of foamy peach soda. It was carbonated in addition to the foam and for the most part it was super sweet! The foam part had some tartness to it, but the drink was just a lot of sugar with a somewhat peachy flavor. That’s not to say it’s bad! I have a major sweet tooth so I actually liked it! But if you’re looking for a refreshing drink this isn’t for you.
Overall, very cute! I washed out my cup and I’ll probbably make pudding or parfait in it eventually. Definately a kit to try if you like Hello Kitty

I’ve been super into making slime recently so I figured it was time to pull out the slime candy ヽ(´▽｀)/
This is called Henshin Slime and I purchased it from Candysan. It’s a candy kit loosely inspired by Neri ame, an old school Japanese candy.
The kit was very easy to put together! You add water with the provided measuring cup then add a yellow powder first, then a blue powder and mix it up! Once the blue powder is mixed in it becomes super thick and stretchy so you can use the popsicle sticks to play with it. It’s actually super fun and I spent a good 10 minutes stretching and pulling the slime candy ( ´∀｀)
It was super fun to eat too! The flavour was ramune which is not bad, but the fun part was the texture. It was chewy, almost like melted gummy candy! I thought it would have the same marshmallow texture as nerunerune, but nope! This was so much better!
Honestly this was a super fun kit that I would reccomend to anyone! Hopefully with how popular slime is, this will become more accessible in the states!
Do you like slime?

So I have some super neat news! The well known Poppin’ Cookin’ kits by Kracie are in English now! I’ve only seen a few kits (sushi, doughnuts, bento, ramen and ice cream) but it’s a start! This will hopefully help make these more accessible for people in the States ✌︎(‘ω’)✌︎
This specific kit I found at a candy store called Lolly and Pops
This was super fun to make. I loved making the noodles and pressing the gyoza. And while I’ve never really had a problem following the picture directions on these kits, it was nice to be able to read and understand them in my language.
So how did everything taste?
The ramen was good as far as flavour. The noodles were vanilla flavour and the broth was cola so it tasted like Vanilla Coke! My only problem was the texture. The noodles were weirdly realistic which made me wish they were warm…
The gyoza and spring rolls were the same
ingredients. The white outer layer was the same weird gel as every other kit and it had an unusual texture and a slight ramune flavour. The filling is melt in your mouth soft and super tart which makes them really good! It’s like crumbled sweet tarts and I love it.
The mango pudding actually tastes like mangos and custard. It’s sweet and exactly
What I would expect a mango pudding to taste like. It still had an unusual texture but it was oddly good
Honestly, this was by far my favorite candy kit. It was so fun to make and the best tasting of the ones I’ve tried. I hope you have an opportunity to try these as well!
