Can anyone help me figure out what each of these candy's are? I'm stumped and the picture does not tell what they are. I'm doing this MYO Mr. Potato head cupcake for DS party in February and only have a few things left. I would LOVE to cross what type of candy's these are, or any others that would work. I do know the mustache is black licorice (yuck) but other then that I'm stumped. I'm planning to buy from a fun candy store but want to know ahead of time. THANKS MUCH!!  |

The eyebrows look like cut up black licorice, the eyes look some white easter egg candy...nose kind of looks like some kind of nut? If it were me I would just go into the candy store with this printed off and try to find similar candies or maybe the store associate could help you? Sounds like a super cute idea!

I agree with jrose... take a copy of the candy shapes to a candy store and ask for their help. I think it would be much faster than an unending search for them like on goggle.

I was hoping to know before I go so I could call and see if they had them. I was also hoping someone would know without googeling them. The store is 40 minutes from home so I want to make the trip worth it.

I think the white ones look like M&Ms, you could get them now in the Valentine candy that's out.
They also make black licorice ropes that are thin, that could be the eye brows. I've seen them at Cub in the candy aisle.
The lips kind of look like cherry circles from the gas station
but molded to have a lip shape.

I was thinking the eyes might look like Mentos

The feet and ears look like gum drops that have been flattened, shaped and rerolled in sugar. I have seen that done before for cake decorations.

The nose is Reese's Puffs cereal, the PB ones.

I googled mr. potato head cupcakes because I was curious and the nose is definately the reeses puffs cereal like Lil said! She doesn't give much help on her blog  And the eyes do look more like mentos like Cissy said! Maybe they have lip molded gummy candies for Valentines day out?? |

Ears and feet look like some sort of sour candy.
I'm sure you could run somewhere like cub and look in there candy section. or target.

Hi Love, I found this for you: It is the same picture you have for the parts. "Check your local bulk food store or candy isle for different sweet treats that can represent the various body parts of a Mister or a Misses Potato. Don’t limit yourself to just candy, I ended up using cereal pieces for the nose; and licorice makes great hairy eyebrows and mustaches. My kids had so much fun decorating their potato head cupcakes!" www.howdoesshe.com/toy-story-3-movie-night |

I think you could use some Sour Patch fruits for the lips and ears -- they seem similar in look.
