DIY - How to make LEGO Candy

How to make or DIY Lego Candy for a LEGO Birthday Party or for fun! I bought the LEGO Candy making trays online at Amazon.com Both the "Ice Tray" and "Candy Tray" to make decorations and treats for the Lego Birthday Party for my little girl. Only about $4 - $8 each, and the candy was $2.50 a bag at Walmart.
 
Here you see the finished product. I bought BLUE, PINK and YELLOW Wilson Candy Melts. I used about 8 - 10 candy pieces per square and placed the tray in the microwave for a minute. I pulled out the tray and checked for holes. I used additional pieces to squish the candy into the holes and a toothpick to spread the candy around. Then I microwaved it for an additional 30 - 45 secs.
 
 


Once the candy was completely melted, I again used the toothpick to fill in the corners and holes of the LEGO shapes. Once it was filled in, I held both sides of the tray and taped it lightly to tap out any bubbles or air pockets. Once all the bubbles came to the top and the surface appeared smooth, I placed the tray in the fridge to cool for about 20 mins.
Once the candy was cool, I flipped the tray over and lightly tapped the tray and the candy pieces just fall out. It was a lot of fun and I might do some more colors since it was so easy!! One bag of candy will do about 3 trays of candy or 24 pieces of each color.
