Chocolate-Covered Strawberries That POP!

I love doing a candy buffet for my annual Oscar Party, loaded with popular movie theatre candy.  I also love doing a "sweets tower" of delicious finger food treats.  This year I married the two and created chocolate-covered strawberries coated in Pop Rocks candy!


Remember Pop Rocks?!

I loved them back in the day.  They're a fun (and now "retro") carbonated candy that fizzle on your tongue when you eat them--it's like a little party in your mouth!

To make, dip strawberries in dipping chocolate as usual, let chocolate set slightly (but not entirely), sprinkle with strawberry-flavored Pop Rocks, and cool on waxed paper.  Easy as pie pop!


The Pop Rocks don't store very well in a container, so I recommend making these as close to your event start time as possible to keep the Pop Rocks crisp and poppy.

These fizzy treats are a fun, unique way to add a little pop to your next party!

So hi, I found your blog today and have been all over it. I just love it. And seeing as how my lunch break ended at least 40 minutes ago, I should get out of here, but I don't know if I can. There is still so much left for me to read :) Just thought I'd give you a little shout out, and if it's okay with you, I will be back soon! Thanks for the great read!
