Handcrafted Artisan Lollipops

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Fun Candy Features the Mona Lisa and Zombies

— July 31, 2016 — Lifestyle
LIQNYC has an incredible array of handcrafted artisan lollipops, making for some beautifully fun candy. What makes these products so special is that they look like pieces of art. When visiting the brand's Etsy site, there are a variety of lollipops that feature pictures of animals and places, psychedelic patterns, zombies, famous art pieces (i.e. the Mona Lisa) and even the solar system. At first glance, one might mistake them for over-sized marbles instead of candy.

Artistically imprinted candy like this would be a great item in souvenir stores, specialized candy stores and even at events like a concert. These products would be a great branding tool as well; companies can place images on the lollipops to impress a new and memorable experience for consumers. The LIQNYC lollipops are a delight to both children and adults. This fun candy product is both tasty and visually appealing.
