You can also get Sour Patch Kids ice cream on top of a waffle floating on a cloud of sour cotton candy.

The dish, dubbed Waffle-licious, is topped with Sour Patch Kids Bitz, Sour Patch-flavored drizzle, Sour Patch Kids Bark, mini raspberry chocolate cups, and whipped cream.

There's also cotton candy with Sour Patch Kids Bitz hidden inside — appropriately named Kids On A Cloud — and a Sour Patch Kids cookie dough made by DŌ, the popular NYC shop known for its edible cookie dough creations.

If you'd rather drink your candy instead of eat it, there's also a smoothie and a milkshake — which comes topped with a slice of rainbow cake.

Desserts will currently only be available to-go due to the ongoing pandemic, and the store's capacity will be limited to 50% to ensure there's enough space for social distancing.
