Chocolate with a bit of sweet, some pop and a little heat
My friend Dorthy told me about a candy she had some time back and I just had replicate what I call Mysterious Halloween Candy Confection with sweet and heat.
This seemingly innocent chocolate candy is not what it appears to be.
Put a piece of this Mysterious Halloween Candy Confection in your mouth…..wait for it…and in a few seconds you begin to feel the popping on your tongue and the inside of your cheeks.
Wait for it….then a moment or so after that…the heat from the chipotle hits the back of your throat and warms it nicely.
It’s fun, groovy and a perfect treat with a little trick. I’ll show you how to make this SIMPLE candy for not only Halloween, but it’s great for an April Fools trick too – just change the sprinkles!

Allow chocolate to set up in the fridge, or on the counter if it is cool enough.
When the chocolate is firm, break into pieces.
IMPORTANT TIP: Eat within 2 days for best effect from the Pop Rock candy because the effect diminishes the longer it sits.

You had me at the white chocolate here and seriously love trying different chocolate bark type recipes. This reminds of that and would love to try to make. Pinned and shared all over – now I need to make it for myself and my gang, too 🙂
Carrie,
I have never seen anything like this. I loved POP ROCKS as a kid. My kids would love this Mysterious Confection with POP ROCKS candy.
How did you ever think of it.
Thanks for sharing!
