Robosaurus Stone Candy: Build-It Mini Dino + “Fossil Rock” Sweets

Pocket toy + portioned candy = two values in one impulse pick.

Robosaurus Stone Candy pairs a mini buildable robo-dinosaur with stone-shaped hard candies, delivering hands-on play and a sweet finish. It’s a proven counter mover for toy-candy hybrid shelves, party favors, and school stores.
