foodie fridays: mini chocolate pop rock tarts

Howdy, friends!

With Valentine’s Day in t-minus ten days, I figured I’d better jump on the chocolate and romance bandwagon while it’s still passin’ through town. Even though Mr. B and I keep a low profile on the lovey-dovey holiday (read: order pizza and drink wine in our alma mater-colored p.j.’s), we still like to treat ourselves to a little something sweet.

This year, I decided to channel my inner child and use an ingredient that truly makes me smile: Pop Rocks! Please tell me you’re smiling, too. I thought Pop Rocks would be a hoot to incorporate into a fun treat to feed to my sweet. (I should totally be a poet.)

To find out more about my mini Pop Rock chocolate tarts, head on over to Bake Your Day! I’m guest-posting for Cassie today while she and Paul direct movers and unpack boxes.

Ready, set, go! —–> Mini Pop Rock Chocolate Tarts

Love Cassie – great to meet you through her. I am in Fort Collins, so we aren’t far apart either!

  Hi Erin! So glad to meet you! My husband actually works in Fort Collins. Someday we will probably actually move there, but if you’re ever in Denver, let’s get together for lunch or something!

Nuh uh! How’d you get to be so smart to make a pop rock tart?! Your inner child is freaking awesome…this makes me want to buy extra pop rocks to pop in my mouth while I’m baking this treat. Headed to Cassie’s for the recipe!

  You totally should have extra Pop Rocks on hand! I completely forgot about them until I was in a candy store recently. So glad I’ve rekindled my love for this childhood favorite. They ROCK!

Hi Laur,

I am still finding pop rocks all over the house. : D

Seriously. It is so funny. Love having you home to photo shoot and run down to the basement and drag up cute dishes.

Congrats on guest posting on “Bake Your Day.! LOTS of comments.
