How do you change one type of candy into another?

You can change one type of candy into another by using something called mixing, just like when you mix colors in art class.

Imagine you have a bag of red gummy worms and you want to make pink gummy worms. To do that, you take some of the red gummy worms and put them in a bowl with some powdered sugar, which is like the color white. Then you stir them around, just like when you mix your cereal with milk.

How Mixing Works

  • You start with one kind of candy (like red gummy worms).
  • You add something new to it (like powdered sugar).
  • You stir or shake it up.
  • The new stuff mixes into the old candy, changing its color and taste.

It’s like when you take your orange juice and mix it with some apple juice, you get a new kind of juice that tastes both orange and apple. No magic needed, just mixing!
