Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven heats, grab a greased cake pan and set it aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, follow the instructions on your vanilla cake mix box to combine the dry ingredients with the needed eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Add a splash of orange extract to the mixture. Mix until just combined, avoiding over-mixing.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
- Crumble the cooled cake into a large mixing bowl. Pour in the vanilla frosting and mix vigorously until completely combined.
- Scoop out portions using a cookie scoop and roll them into balls the size of golf balls. Create a small hole in each ball for the Pop Rocks.
- Spoon about ½ teaspoon of Pop Rocks into each bon bon, seal it completely, and roll between your palms to restore shape.
- Melt white chocolate melting chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals until smooth.
- Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, coating it completely, and shake off excess before placing them on a lined baking sheet.
- Sprinkle extra Pop Rocks on top of each bon bon while the chocolate coating is still wet.
- Refrigerate for about 30 minutes to let the chocolate set. Serve chilled to enjoy the fizz!

Notes
Ensure cake is completely cool before crumbling to maintain Pop Rocks fizz. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
