They are a festive treat, often associated with springtime celebrations. The combination of textures and the unexpected popping element make them a unique confection.

The popping sensation is best experienced when the chocolate begins to melt in your mouth.

Unlike traditional solid chocolate eggs, these contain a hidden filling of pop rocks. This adds an element of auditory and tactile surprise, with the crackling and popping sensation that is absent in plain chocolate. The hollow nature also makes them lighter than solid alternatives.

How to keep the rest
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Ensure the packaging is sealed to maintain freshness and prevent the pop rocks from losing their fizz. Avoid refrigerating as this can cause the chocolate to bloom.
