Colorful candies like Skittles are made with FD&C dyes, sugar and other substances. By adding hot water with the skittles it starts to release the dyes as you can see here with the experiment.

When you first add the skittle they start to dissolve in the water, sending the food colors outwards as this happens. The reason that the food colors meet in the middle of the plate as a cross and not mix is because each food color has the same amount of sugar dissolved from each skittle.

Try different candies to see if you get the same results. Or start the candy in the middle of the plate to see what happens. Best part is you can still eat them. skittles rainbow experiment skittles rainbow trick
