How do I separate my melted rock candies?
I recently bought a a jar of rock candies and after one night, they have melted and all stuck together. How do I separate them again to eat them? (I tried freezing, it didn’t work!)
Best Answer
If you can get them out of the jar, I would suggest a hammer.
Put them in a plastic bag and whack them with the hammer.
You might be able to use a knife (carefully) to pry them apart depending on much they are stuck together.
