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
- 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.
- Remove from heat and quickly stir in vanilla or lemon flavoring along with food coloring.
- Pour the hot syrup onto a silicone baking mat or into silicone molds shaped like mystical potion bottles.
- 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.
- Once hardened, break the candy into small shards or pieces resembling chunks of Iocane powder.
- Mix in the pop rocks candy to the candy pieces for a dramatic popping surprise when consumed.
- For a more authentic presentation, place the pieces into small jars or containers labeled as "Iocane Powder."
- 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.
