Abstract

The illuminable toy has a replaceable, illuminable edible, that can be soft or hard crystal candy or any other translucent or transparent food in a figure form which is attached to a holder which is in turn part of or attached to a base. Concealed inside the base are a light source and battery connected to an electrical switch. The illuminable edible toy can be a simulation toy with more than one replaceable, illuminable edible under a cover. The base can have a cover simulating a coffin or horror house for conveying horror themes, or simulating an egg shell for conveying an Easter celebration theme or a cave for conveying a fairy tale mining cave theme.
