Popping Candy

[giveup]

If you want to add popping candy to cakes or desserts,when is the best time to do it. I imagine if its done too early it would pop too soon.

I would add it immediately before serving. If it absorbs moisture it will lose its pop.....I suspect.

Never heard of popping candy, what is it like? I Googled it but still not sure what it might be.

Popping corn is just dried corn on the cob. Its what ready made pop corn is made from.

What I can't understand is why would you want to put it into a cake mixture ?
Surely it will explode when the cake is in the oven. If enough is put in, won't it blow the cake apart ?
