To enjoy this extreme sour hard candy, simply unwrap a piece and place it in your mouth. Allow the candy to slowly dissolve, releasing its potent sour flavor. Avoid biting into it immediately, as the intense sourness can be overwhelming. It is best savored over time. Some people enjoy the challenge of enduring the sourness for as long as possible. It can also be used sparingly to add a sharp, tart note to other candies or desserts where a strong sour profile is desired.
