Hello, pop rocks...
Hello, plain vanilla ice cream sandwich....
Meet your new best friend!
It's pretty and messy and all you can hear is crackling!
I think these would be a really great party dessert. I was by myself and giggling like a maniacal fool. So I imagine that with more people, the crazed giggling would multiply.
Pop rocks are just plain fun (and they taste pretty great with ice cream, too).
a little how-to
1 ice cream sandwich (you could make your own if you're so inclined)
1 package of Pop Rocks candy
Pour the candy out onto a plate or other suitable surface. Roll the edges of the ice cream sandwich around in the pop rocks; use your fingers to squish it on to any ice cream that remains uncovered.
Enjoy!
{note} I'm sure you can find Pop Rocks just about anywhere. They're pretty common these days. I found these at Save-On Foods in the bulk candy aisle. On this particular day, they happened to be two packages for a dollar.
{noted} I think it would look really pretty if you bought a few different colours of Pop Rocks and mixed them together to make a popping rainbow covering. Just saying.

These are SO CUTE! I love popping candy, such a nostalgic thing :) it really makes these sandwiches look that little bit special. Lovely!
Marie: It's also the easiest thing in the world. You have to try it!
Lindsey: Confession -- we bought the pop rocks to entertain the greek parents. The idea for the ice cream sandwiches came after we had our fun with the first package.
Jane: They're so much fun cuz the pop rocks start popping the minute you pour them out. They were literally jumping off the plate! I think your niece and nephew will get a huge kick out of it!
Heidi: Thanks!
Stephanie: Homemade ice cream sandwiches would make these extra special!
