Frozen Treats Bittersweet Melli the Caramel Fairy licked her fingers one by one. "Mmm," she sighed. "There's nothing like the warm, gooey taste of fresh caramel." She looked over at a caramella bird perched in the tree above her. "I know you agree, right?" she asked. Melli dipped another finger into the barrel and lifted it up to the bird. " Let me know what you think. I am trying out new recipes for a caramel sauce." The yellow-and-white bird flew down to Melli's shoulder and gently pecked at the Candy Fairy's finger. The bird closed her eyes and flapped her wings. Melli laughed. "I take that as a compliment!" she said. She stirred the large wooden spoon around in the barrel once again. "I think this is just sugar-tastic," she told the bird. "I can't wait for Sun Dip tonight. My friends will love this sweet treat." "We don't have to wait for tonight!" Dash the Mint Fairy called from above. Melli looked up and was surprised to see her four Candy Fairy friends circling the barrel. She giggled. "What are you all doing here?"
