These are recycled glass jar night lights that I make by hand and sell in my Etsy shop. You want one, don’t you? You should probably treat yourself.

These are amazing!

For the architect, tinkerer, futuristic innovator, fictional machinist, anachronistic technology admirer, scientifically gifted and unfettered…you know the type. It’s high time we introduce our Antique Inspired Edible Candy Gears.


Our decorative candy is made with the finest and most conscientious ingredients: Fair Trade Organic Chocolate, Certified Organic Flavorings, and Non-Gmo Starches. We think the taste speaks for itself. These Gears are not a solid chocolate but our own unique candy recipe. 

We make it our great effort to create handmade edibles that are versatile as a confection embellishment or stand alone candy. Our Buttons are a firm, but al dente sweet - they give way to the teeth nicely, there is a need to chew and they are dissolving in the mouth. And our Gears are surprisingly yummy! No hydrogenated or fractionated oils -no corn syrup - and no artificial flavorings -this is our own unique candy recipe.

This listing is for 50 Chocolate flavored Candy Gears, ranging in size from the tiniest, 5mm to the largest, 1 1/2” round and 1 cm. thick.

Each batch is made to order. Please include your event date or desired ETA for delivery in the “note” box at checkout. Please contact us for a private listing if a larger quantity is required.

All of our items are packed with 100% recycled paperboard, renewable and compostable resources and have natural anti-microbial properties to them.”

I thought these were pretty cool. Someone linked to them on Facebook and I couldn’t help but share.
