How people cook with it

The most common way to enjoy these candies is to unwrap one and let it slowly dissolve in your mouth. This process releases the sweet, fruity flavor over time. For culinary uses, the candies can be carefully melted in a low oven or microwave until smooth.

They can also be crushed into fine pieces to sprinkle over desserts or add a burst of flavor to beverages.
