Ingredients

  • 12 Pink Starburst Candies
  • 4 Yellow Starburst Candies
  • 4 Red Starburst Candies
  • 4 Orange Starburst Candies
  • 5 drops blue food coloring
  • 5 drops purple food coloring
  • Wax paper or parchment paper
  • 4 cake pop sticks

Instructions

  • Microwave 4 pink Starburst Candies on a microwave safe plate or paper towel for 5 seconds.
  • Be careful, they may be hot in some places, but, with your hands, mold them into four long, skinny cylinders (make snakes) and lay them flat on a piece of wax paper or parchment paper (this is important so that you don’t have them sticking to your tabletop.
  • Repeat this process with the yellow, red and orange Starburst Candies, laying one of each color in a group.
  • Microwave 4 pink of the remaining Starburst Candies on a microwave safe plate or paper towel for 5 seconds.
  • Be careful, they may be hot in some places, but, with your hands, mold them into a cup.
  • Place blue food coloring into the cup you have made with the pink Starburst Candies.
  • Knead with your fingers until the pink Starburst Candies are consistently blue throughout.
  • Break-up the now blue Starburst Candies into 4 equally-sized pieces and mold them into four long, skinny cylinders and add them to your sets of the other colors.
  • Microwave the last 4 pink of the Starburst Candies on a microwave safe plate or paper towel for 5 seconds.
  • Be careful, they may be hot in some places, but, with your hands, mold them into a cup.
  • Place purple food coloring into the cup you have made with the pink Starburst Candies.
  • Knead with your fingers until the pink Starburst Candies are consistently purple throughout.
  • Break-up the now purple Starburst Candies into 4 equally-sized pieces and mold them into four long, skinny cylinders and add them to your sets of the other colors.
  • Make sure all of your cylinders in each set are equally long and thick, approximately, and line them up on one end.
  • Pick up one whole set of cylinders and, starting at the end where they’re all even, twist them together like a rope, very gently. Keep the tip you are starting at tighter than the other end by loosening your work as you go. Work your way down to the bottom, creating a horn.
  • Using a cake pop stick, gently insert it into the thicker end about 1-inch. Don’t try to go too far or it will destroy your twisting.
  • Allow to cool in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
