Firecracker Float

June 27, 2011 · by



The 4th of July is almost here, and with that comes fireworks.  Lots & lots of fireworks.  Well, why not make some fireworks of your own – but edible ones?  Don’t worry, I’m not suggesting we light a fuse in your mouth, but these Firecracker Floats sure will make you feel like you have a fireworks display going on in there!

This is one that the kids are going to LOVE.  That is, of course, as long as the adults don’t hog them all!  ;)


All you need is:

Put a scoop of vanilla ice cream in a tall glass, followed by 1/3 of a pack of pop rocks.  Repeat twice.


Then, pour in the lemon lime soda to the top.  


Sip.  Pop.  Pop. Pop.  Sip.  



Yum.

    Oh my goodness. It’s one in the morning, and I should be going to bed, but instead I’m looking at your delicious food and my stomach is grumbling – because, well, there’s NOTHING better than anything with ice cream! :D I (surprisingly!) have all the ingredients for this, and will totally be making it in the morning!
