A rock and roll candy bar. A layer of peanut butter is sandwiched between two banana chips. A thin layer of chocolate surrounds the two banana chips and the layer of peanut butter. A decorative edible image is applied to the thin layer of chocolate. In a preferred embodiment the banana chips are cut into the shape of guitar picks. Also, in a preferred embodiment the decorative edible image is a symbol representing rock and roll.

The rancidity of prepackaged nut products, especially, candy coated almonds, pecans, peanuts, pistachios, walnuts and cashews, is inhibited or reduced by sealingly coating the nut products with a sweetener and, thereafter, packaging the foodstuffs in a GRAS polymeric film plastic material. This enables the nut product to be exposed. to continuous heating or heating and cooling cycles such as within a conventional food warmer or exposure to heating lamps at temperatures up to about 200°F. for extended periods of up to about thirty (30) to about sixty (60) days while impeding the rancidity of the nut products.

Alcohol-based, edible ink formulations comprising scalenohedral calcium carbonate particles are provided. The calcium carbonate particles can act as a white pigment to impart white color properties to the edible ink formulations. The edible ink formulations can be printed onto a variety of surfaces, including the surfaces of food products such as confectionery products and snack food products.

The disclosure includes an object comprising a front lens layer made from at least one of transparent material or translucent material, having a lens with curved surfaces that provide refractive behaviors and a backing layer embedded with patterns. The disclosure also includes a method for designing an object with lenticular effects. The disclosure further includes a method for designing a textile for 3D printing. The disclosure also includes a candy or lollipop comprising a front layer comprising a plurality of at least one of elongated or standalone transparent geometries with defined heights, curvatures and shapes that provide refractive behaviors and a backing layer with at least one of colors or patterns. The disclosure also includes barrier-based object designs that create optical illusions.
