Questions about Starburst fruit chews
How should you store Starburst fruit chews so they don’t stick together?
Keep them wrapped in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Heat can soften the chews and make them sticky, so don’t leave them in a hot car or beside an oven.
Can you bake Starburst fruit chews into cookies?
Yes. Chop them into small pieces and fold them into cookie dough; leave space between cookies because the sweets soften and can spread. Let the biscuits cool fully before lifting them, as the melted centres stay sticky.
Can you freeze Starburst fruit chews?
You can, but freezing makes them very hard while they’re cold. Let them come back to room temperature before chewing, and keep them wrapped to protect them from moisture and freezer smells.
Are Starburst fruit chews vegetarian?
Recipes differ between markets and product versions, so there isn’t one answer for every pack. Check the ingredients for animal-derived ingredients such as gelatine; the word “fruit” in the name doesn’t establish that a sweet is vegetarian.
Are Starburst sour fruit chews lower in energy than regular Starburst fruit chews?
Yes: sour fruit chews have 400 kcal per 100 g, compared with 408 kcal per 100 g in Starburst fruit chews.
Are Starburst fruit chews a choking risk for young children?
Yes. Their small, firm, sticky pieces can be difficult for young children to chew safely; don’t give them to a child who is not yet able to manage chewy sweets, and supervise older children while they eat.
