Swizzels has created an official limited-edition themed range of confectionery ahead of the release of the film Minions: The Rise of Gru.

Among the range are Drumstick Minions Banana and Blueberry Squashies, available in a blue-and-yellow striped packaging, in imitation of the titular characters’ yellow skin and blue dungarees.

They are available in 120g plain and £1 price-marked packs in cases of 12.
