  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: about 2 cups of candy shards

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Ninja SLUSHi Pro RapidChill Drink Maker (for instant cooling of sugar syrup)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon natural flavoring (vanilla or lemon)
  • 1/4 teaspoon bright food coloring (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ΒΌ teaspoon edible glitter (for that magical effect)
  • Pop rocks candy (for the signature popping effect)
  • Silicone molds shaped like magic or potion containers (optional, for presentation)

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, combine sugar and light corn syrup. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches 300Β°F (hard crack stage). Use a Fullstar Ultimate Veggie Prep Master for easy prep and cleanup.
  2. Remove from heat and quickly stir in vanilla or lemon flavoring along with food coloring.
  3. Pour the hot syrup onto a silicone baking mat or into silicone molds shaped like mystical potion bottles.
  4. Allow it to cool and harden, which can be accelerated by placing the molds in the Ninja SLUSHi Pro RapidChill Drink Maker for quick cooling.
  5. Once hardened, break the candy into small shards or pieces resembling chunks of Iocane powder.
  6. Mix in the pop rocks candy to the candy pieces for a dramatic popping surprise when consumed.
  7. For a more authentic presentation, place the pieces into small jars or containers labeled as "Iocane Powder."
  8. Optional: garnish with Presto Pizzazz Plus Rotating Pizza Oven or similar tools to create themed decorations.

Notes

  • Store the Iocane Powder Pop Rocks in an airtight container, away from moisture and heat, to maintain their popping effect and prevent clumping.
  • For long-term storage, use an airtight glass jar like the JoyJolt Airtight Glass Food Storage Set.
