Mentos candies do not actually melt in hot water; instead, they can dissolve or break down more quickly due to the heat. The Gelatin and gum arabic in Mentos may soften, but the primary reaction of Mentos with Carbonated Beverages is due to the physical structure of the candy, which facilitates rapid nucleation of carbon dioxide bubbles. In hot water, the candy may lose its shape and integrity faster than in cold water, but it won't "melt" in the traditional sense.
