Ingredients
- 1 large bottle of Gatorade Fierce Orange (32 oz / 946 ml)
- 1 large pack of Rainbow Nerds candy (10 oz / 280 g)
- 1 small packet of Orange Pop Rocks candy (1.5 oz / 42 g)
- 4 cups crushed ice
Instructions
- Combine crushed ice and Gatorade Fierce Orange in a blender. Blend until a thick, frosty slush forms.
- Scoop the slush into a large dessert bowl and shape into a tall, irregular mountain using a spoon.
- Press a deep 'crater' into the slush mountain with the back of a spoon.
- Fill the crater with Rainbow Nerds to the brim, then sprinkle Orange Pop Rocks on top for a popping candy effect. Serve immediately.
Notes
Use frozen Gatorade bottle for a colder slush.
Add a splash of orange zest for enhanced citrus flavor if desired.
For a fruit twist, substitute Nerds with dried cranberries or orange zest.
Leftovers can be refrozen (up to 2 days), but reheating will deactivate pop rocks' effervescence.
Avoid overfilling the crater to maintain volcano structure.
