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!
Fun idea. Would have never thought of that! By the way, I tagged you in a little fun blogging questionnaire I was tagged in. If you’re interested in checking it out, you can find my blog via my profile. No pressure!!!
What a cool idea! I used to LOVE poprocks!
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!
Thank you, ladies!
@Nicole–Thank you for thinking of me!
@Nicole–Me too! They’re so much fun. I didn’t even realize they still made them until recently!
@Kristi–Why, hello, nicest comment EVER. So happy to have you here!
