And as I recall, those sticks were made out of vegetables because the Fraggles liked to eat them. You know what else is made of plant starch? PLA.

The Doozer structures would need sugar heated to hard crack with no air bubbles and rapidly cooled after extrusion to keep the shape.
Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories made several iterations of a sugar 3D printer which they called "candyfab", using a fused accretion approach that is decidedly not clear
