Aside from grilled foods and refreshing summer cocktails (because #obviously), fireworks are inarguably the best part of Independence Day. Now you can have your fireworks and eat them too with these creative recipes that utilize one of the best candy creations of all time: Pop Rocks.
From cookies and cupcakes to popcorn and ice cream sandwiches, scroll down for a comprehensive list of 4th of July desserts that pack a major flavor explosion. Just be sure to eat these sugar-filled treats in moderation, otherwise you may be seeing stars. (And not just 50 of them.)
Firework Poke Cake
McCormick
A brightly colored poke cake is super easy to pull off, and made even more exciting with crackling candy sprinkled liberally on top. Get the recipe.
Firecracker Cupcakes
Nellie Bellie
The addition of cinnamon, cloves, and hot sauce set these spicy cupcakes on fire. Can your taste buds handle the heat, or do you need to get out of the kitchen? Get the recipe.
Firecracker Popcorn
Spicy Southern Kitchen
Since kernels essentially explode during the popcorn cooking process, a firecracker popcorn is nothing short of thematically appropriate. Frankly, it’s also fun to eat. Get the recipe.
Pop Rocks Martini
Bite Me More
We’ll be sipping on one of these as we huddle under the blankets and wait for fireworks to start. So much classier than a flask or a re-purposed water bottle. Get the recipe.

Firecracker Margarita
As the Bunny Hops

Pop Rocks Cherry Bombs
Frosting and a Smile

Pop Rocks Brownie Bites
