Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (95g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1/2 cup (50g) unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup Pop Rocks candy

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and glossy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
  4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly with a spatula.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, checking at 25 minutes with a toothpick; it should come out with moist crumbs.
  7. Remove from oven and cool completely in the pan on a wire rack (at least 30 minutes).
  8. Once cooled, generously sprinkle Pop Rocks candy evenly over the surface just before serving.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep brownies fudgy. Use room temperature eggs for better texture. Add Pop Rocks only after brownies have completely cooled to preserve the popping effect. For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with almond flour. For dairy-free, use coconut oil instead of butter. Store brownies in an airtight container and keep Pop Rocks separate until serving.
