Starburst candies melt in hot water primarily due to their high sugar content and low melting point. When exposed to heat, the sugar molecules gain energy, causing them to break down and lose their solid structure, resulting in a gooey consistency. The heat also disrupts the candy's cohesive bonds, further accelerating the melting process. Thus, hot water effectively changes the physical state of the candy from solid to liquid.
