What are "skittles"?

Skittles are a type of fruit-flavored candy that is popular around the world. They are small, bite-sized candies that come in a variety of colors and flavors, such as strawberry, grape, and green apple. Skittles are made from a combination of sugar, corn syrup, and other ingredients, such as fruit juice and flavorings. They have a hard, crunchy shell that gives way to a chewy and fruity center. Skittles are often sold in small individual packages or in larger bags and are a popular candy among children and adults alike. They can also be used as a decorative element in desserts or as a fun and colorful addition to party favors.
