Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup bubble gum base (available online or at candy supply stores)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
- Pop Rocks candy (flavor of your choice), about 1/4 cup
- 1/4 cup corn syrup or glucose syrup
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- Food-grade gum flavoring (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare a clean, flat surface dusted with powdered sugar.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the bubble gum base in 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until soft and pliable.
- Add the corn syrup and granulated sugar to the melted gum base and mix thoroughly.
- If using, add a few drops of food-grade gum flavoring and stir well.
- Allow the gum mixture to cool slightly but remain pliable.
- Roll the gum into small balls or flatten into pieces on the powdered sugar-dusted surface.
- Just before the gum fully sets, gently press Pop Rocks candy onto or into the gum pieces to incorporate the popping candy.
- Let the gum cool completely and store in an airtight container.
Notes
- Pop Rocks can lose their fizz if exposed to moisture, so add them last and store the gum properly.
- Use food-grade gum base and flavorings to ensure safety.
- Experiment with different Pop Rocks flavors for unique taste combinations.
