Abstract

The present invention provides edible articles (10) (e.g., candies,confections, foods and medicines) that incorporate optical elements (16) (e.g., holographic or lenticular gratings, and/or printed patterns) capable of producing visually interesting and unique optical images and/or effects, wherein such optical elements are safe to consume, and do not detract from the taste of the edible articles, and wherein the edible articles can be manufactured (to incorporate the optical elements) via a variety of differing techniques, thus providing the ability to produce unique and visually interesting edible articles.
