Gawd, who comes up with these projects? One more thing to deal with right at the end of the school year, what a great idea!

Any tips on how to make this project a success would be appreciated.

I wish I had something constructive to offer. I definitely like the idea of just making a model of the candy as opposed to trying to melt the real thing. Of course it would be way cool to have it actually BE a giant candy, but what a giant headache.
