I'll eat my shirt if that's not disco dust.....

First and foremost, nothing will look exactly like shiny die cut pieces of plastic--nothing.  But, if someone is going to eat it, that's what they need to accept.

Several options:

CK products makes gold glitter flakes made with maltodextrin--NOT gum arabic.  They can be ground finer thru a tea strainer with the handle of a knife.  They hold up better than the gum arabic glitter.  Same goes for Sterling Flakes by https://www.thesugarart.com/collections/sterling-flakes/products/sf-101-br-gold?variant=12096444423

Sparkling sanding sugar--larger grains-- mixed with some gold food color and some edible gold luster dust.

Roxy & Rich Hybrid Sparkle Dust as the edible luster dust is really good.

The top two photos look like disco dust for sure, but the last one, Minnie Mouse, almost appears to be a sugar, something like Cake Mate Cupcke Gems Shimmer Gold, which is edible.

Sorry, those Cake Mate "Gems" are, in fact, gold colored sparkling sugar and the grains are quite large, compared to disco dust, or even a more standard sugar crystal.  The bright reflection and very tiny, round, regular stray dots of gold are also very telltale of disco.
