It is always a treat watching the way Skittles begin to melt and to see the bright colours merge like a rainbow towards the centre of the plate! We used two plates of Skittles - one with cold water and one with hot water. To begin with, we used the cold water and we enjoyed watching the colours begin to flow. We agreed that because Skittles are coated with food colour, fruit and sugar, all those ingredients were beginning to dissolve. That's what caused the colourful patterns. The hot water made the Skittles dissolve much faster but the pattern was not as bright because it mixed together more quickly.
