Popin’ Cookin’: Japan’s Fun Diy Candy
Popin’ Cookin’: Japan’s Fun Diy Candy
Popin’ Cookin’ and DIY candy kits from Japan turn snack time into craft time when you mix, mold, and create your own edible treats.
Each kit lets you make mini candy versions of sushi, ramen, burgers, and more. It’s a fun way to experience Japan’s playful side through candy!
Create Your Own Candy Magic
A Popin’ Cookin kit is packed with everything you need for do-it-yourself treats that require no cooking. It usually comes with powders, trays, and molds—just add water, stir, and shape the mixture into tiny detailed candies. The instructions are mostly pictures, so even if you don’t read Japanese, you can follow along step-by-step!
Mixing the powders feels a bit like a mini science experiment as the colors change right before your eyes. Some kits even include extra touches like candy soy sauce or icing you can drizzle on. When you're done, you have a colorful, bite-sized masterpiece that looks almost too real (and too cute) to eat!

In 2005, Japanese manufacturer Kracie launched its very first Popin’ Cookin’ kit: the Tanoshii Cakes set. It’s not the first DIY candy kit, but this was specially designed to make kids and parents create candy treats. From there, Popin’ Cookin’ grew into a full line of DIY kits where the fun comes not just from eating, but from the creative process!
