Bright Ideas

Candy melts are the secret to some of Instagram’s

mermaid treats. They aren’t for purists—they’re faux

white chocolate tinted with food coloring—but they melt

like a dream, and they make us want to drizzle,

dip and decorate just about everything.

CEREAL CLUSTERS

Add cereal to a bowl of melted

candy melts; spoon into

clusters on a parchment-lined

baking sheet and let set.
