Well a thermometer can't measure the temperature in a microwave because microwaves are not actually heat producing. The microwaves cause friction in the water contained in a substance causing heat to form "cooking the substance". It is not very safe to stick a Mercury thermometer in the microwave or anything metal containing. All together I do not recommend sticking candy in a microwave.
