I gave it a lot of consideration! Last year, with candy corn, I went with melting them first. But then I needed to melt them in a liquid, to keep them from sticking to the pot or burning. I didn't really want to cook the kombucha, so I used water to make it into a strong syrup. But I feel like it ended up diluting the flavor a bit. I had hoped that blending it would liquefy the candy and give a better result. But, alas, it would not blend. Perhaps melting with a splash of kombucha will be the test for next year.
thoughts on heating and melting the candy into liquid first??

Ha! Thank you for your service, I think will just eat the stupid candy as usual...
That is the certainly the route we would recommend, as well :D
Entertaining is it was, it kind of defeats the drinking healthy thing. I'll stick with my fruit flavored ones.
