Analysis of starburst

Accepted Answer

When it comes to cooking with Starburst, the candy's inherent taste, texture and melting properties can be exploited to create amazing dishes. Some people are unsure how to use them in cooking, often resorting to just tossing them in as is which causes uneven distribution of flavour and texture. It's important to take into account Starburst's high sugar content as it can alter the sweetness of your dish. Also, remember that different flavors of Starburst candies can be used to infuse a range of fruity flavors into your dishes.

To get the most out of them, consider melting them down to create syrups, dessert sauces and icings. They can also be chopped into smaller pieces and used as a topping on ice cream or cupcakes. The lemon and orange flavored Starburst can be added to sweet lemonade or orange-based cocktails for a unique fruity kick. Furthermore, when baking, it is better to add chopped Starburst pieces in the last 10-15 minutes to avoid them from burning.

A lesser known trick with Starburst is their use in a Sweet Starbust-infused vodka, where the candies are dissolved in vodka to create a colourful and delicious drink.
