How people cook with it
These candies are a versatile treat enjoyed in many ways. They can be eaten straight from the wrapper or incorporated into various desserts.

To enjoy, simply unwrap a candy and chew. For baking, the unwrapped candies can be melted down to create a chewy topping for cookies or brownies. They can also be chopped and mixed into cookie dough for pockets of fruity flavor. Some people enjoy using them as a colorful decoration on cakes or cupcakes, either whole or slightly softened. Their pliability when slightly warmed makes them adaptable for creative dessert applications.
