Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350° and spray cake pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Prepare the cake batter according to the instructions on the box.
1 box Vanilla Cake Mix, 3 eggs, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1 cup water
Add a teaspoon of orange extract and mix thoroughly.
1 teaspoon orange extract
Pour into a cake pan and bake according to the directions on the box. When finished, remove from the oven and let cool for 15 minutes.
Crumble the cake in a mixing bowl and let cool for another 20 minutes.
Add the frosting and mix well.
¼ cup vanilla frosting
Form the mixture into a large ball, then use a 1" cookie scoop to make smaller balls.
Press your finger into each cake ball to make a small hole, then pour about ½ teaspoon of pop rocks candy into each.
4 packets Pop Rocks
Close the hole by pushing the dough ball back together and rolling back into ball.
Heat the white melting chips in the microwave at 30 second intervals until fully melted.
1 cup white chocolate melting chips
Using a spoon, fork or toothpick, dip each of the balls into the melted chocolate, coating all sides. Drain any excess and place on a parchment paper or wax paper lined baking sheet.
Sprinkle extra pop rocks on top of each while the chocolate is still wet.
Let chocolate set (you can put them in the refrigerator to speed up the process) and enjoy!

Notes
