Roasted Starbursts

-
Have you ever heard of roasting starbursts? The kids in Medelsted introduced me to it and it's wild! The rule of thumb is, stick it on the end of a roasting utencil, and stick it above the hot coals of a campfire. Let it drip no more than 5 times and then take it out. It does the coolest thing. The candy on the outside gets hard and just a tad crunchy (like a creme brulee) and the middle gets all warm and gooey. So when you pop in in your mouth it kind of pops with all this warm goodness with a tiny bit of chew. It was very cool! I recommend trying it if you are of the sour / tart candy sort of person.

Mmmm. This reminds me of Peep s'mores. Don't throw your stale peeps away, roast 'em and stick 'em on some graham crackers. The only thing to remember is that they melt a lot quicker than marshmallows, and they're a lot hotter too with their sugar coating.
