Pop Rocks!

Step 3 Anger Management

~ This is a good one for the kids to help out with!

~ Remove the cooled candy from the cookie sheet.  Break the sheet of candy into smaller pieces and place in plastic bag.  

~ Using your blunt instrument of choice, smash the candy into Pop Rock size pieces!  Be careful not to pulverize the candy.  You want tiny chunks, not powder. 

~Store in small plastic baggies, or airtight container. (Best to do this as soon as you're done smashing them.  Just like real Pop Rocks, they don't like humidity.)

for storage use a bottle with a vacuum seal and pump out the air. You can make your own resealable vacuum bottles and use a commercial vacuum pump or build a pump. If you use the reynolds system (I have one) they have various sized bags, so you could put P-R's in a few put them in the big bag (99% sealed, then close the big bag, cauum it press the smaller bags closed (inside the sealed evacuated big bag) and then pu them in a big jar which you vacuum as well. Cheap bags don't work well over time , but in a jar they will do fine allowing no degaidation as you open then close the big bottle to give treats to kiddies, ok adults too.

nice instructable

Thanks for the input! I didn't even think of that. That'll give me an excuse to use the food saver next time. :)

that toy cost so much , ya gotta use it once in a while!

I must clarify to all I just confused, you put a serving in a small sandwich bag, then close them 99% . Then you put them flat in a large vacuum bag (clear see through plastic seal that and evacuate the big bag, which evacuates the little ones (cheapo bags). Run a finger over the seals of the small bags so they are sealed up (inside the big bag under vacuum)then release the vacuum to the big bag. take all the little bags put in vacuum jar and evac that. (you can make a jar for a penny or less)

cheapo bags won't keep a vacuum long, but stored in a vacced jar they will keep very nice and allow you to remove them and take them on a trip to park etc and still keep good explosive sillyness for all to enjoy.
