Abstract
A novelty confectionery product having a prize includes first and second separable components forming a container including a handle and a stalk, the stalk projecting from the handle. The stalk includes a leg projecting from each component, the legs being encompassed within a solid confectionery portion which precludes separation of the legs and, hence, of the components. One of the two legs includes an end or terminus disposed closer to the surface of the confectionery portion than the other leg. The user need only remove increments of the confection to expose the shorter leg, thereby enabling separation of the legs and opening of the container while the remainder of the confectionery portion remains mounted on the longer leg.
