Hello! What´s the name of that kind of candy figures? Does someone know where to buy them online?

They look like murano beads because they use the same caning technique, also used for polymer clay crafts. Millefiori is also done the same way. There are youtube videos demonstrating this technique, in case some people are wondering how they possibly put the design in the center of the candies. Very creative.

I should have paid attention to the name, but on a recent trip to Singapore, my hubby and I spied a shop that was creating candy in the store itself. Pulling sugar, shaping, etc. We were in a hurry so we didn’t really have time to browse but it looked and smelled interesting. :-)

These photos look awesome – the candy look like glass beads. :-)

In Australia (Coffs Harbour, New South Wales), there’s a candy a shop where they have regular demos showing these candies being made by hand as a part of the tourist attraction..you can even design your own and make special orders with your name or logo on it…

I bought something similar from a little shop called Suga in Melbourne – https://www.suga.com.au/

Got the kind packed in plastic bags and regret not getting a little jar because they’re wilting in the humid weather. But they are yummy :)

Sweet! I brought my girls just last weekend to Candy by Sticky at The Rocks here in Sydney, and they also make hand-made candies as these. They also have branches in Singapore and HK. I agree that they are absolute gems!

MM: the candy store here is called Made In Candy (basement of United Square). They sell EXACTLY the same ones in your photo. I buy them, $3.20 for less than 100 grams in a zip bag to decorate cupcakes. I asked and you can have your rock candy customised with name, design, etc. for a minimum order of 2 kilograms at $180. It would be a cute giveaway.
