Questions about Skittles
Can you bake Skittles into biscuits or cupcakes?
You can press them into the top of biscuits or cupcakes just before baking, but the shells may crack and the colours can run. For neater decorations, add them after baking and cooling.
How should you store Skittles after opening the packet?
Seal them in an airtight container and keep it somewhere cool and dry. Humidity can make the shells sticky, while heat can soften them.
What can you use instead of Skittles to decorate a cake?
For a similar bright, crunchy finish, use small sugar-coated sweets or coloured chocolate beans. For a softer topping, try chopped jelly sweets, added after the icing is set.
Are Skittles Sours very different from Original Skittles?
They have a tangy sour coating, but their nutrition is similar: per 100 g, Sours have 401 kcal and 4 g of fat, compared with 405 kcal and 4.4 g of fat in Skittles.
Why do Skittles have different colours and flavours?
Each colour is made with its own flavouring and colouring, so the pieces are easy to tell apart. The colours and flavour range can change between product versions.
Do Skittles contain vitamin C?
Yes. Skittles are a source of vitamin C, with 66.8 mg per 100 g; the amount you get depends on how many you eat.
Are Skittles safe for young children to eat?
Small, firm sweets can be a choking risk for young children. Keep them out of reach and offer sweets only when a child is old enough to chew safely, seated and supervised.
