Like a summer blockbuster movie, these cookies are chock full of explosions: they’re both infused and garnished liberally with Pop Rocks. This not only makes them crackle like fireworks but also pays homage to that other all-consuming american obsession: truly trashy candy (and I say this in the most loving way possible).

So–are you ready to make your fourth of July extreme?

Go read the whole thing, and get the recipe at Cakespy:  Pop Rocks Cookies

And in case you weren’t around a few years ago when I posted it, be sure to save those little champagne cages around the corks tonight. You can make really cute tiny chairs with them!
