Equipment

8x8 Pan
Parchment paper

Ingredients

16 ounce Container of White Frosting
1 ½ Cups White Chocolate Chips
3 .33 ounce Packages Blue Pop Rocks
3 .33 ounce Packages Red Pop Rocks

Instructions

Prep the Pan

Line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper and set aside.

Melt the White Chocolate

Place the white chocolate chips in a medium microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave for up to 3 minutes, pausing every 30 seconds to stir and moving the chips from the bottom of the bowl to the top, until smooth and free of lumps.

Stir in the Frosting

Remove the lid and all foil from the frosting container, then microwave for 1 minute.
Pour the warm frosting into the melted chocolate and stir vigorously until fully combined. It will look like it's seizing at first — keep stirring and it loosens into a glossy fudge.

Fold in the Pop Rocks

Gently fold in 2 packages of blue Pop Rocks and 2 packages of red until evenly distributed.
Spread the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
Sprinkle the remaining red and blue Pop Rocks over the top.

Set and Slice

Let the fudge set for about 8 hours, or until firm.
Lift it out using the parchment, slice into squares, and serve.

Notes

Get every scrap of foil off the frosting lid before microwaving. Stray foil sparks. If you're unsure, scoop the frosting into a microwave-safe bowl and warm it that way.
