To make my popping candy, heat pure granulated sugar in the microwave for 2 Minutes. The hot sugar mixture is then allowed to mix with carbon dioxide gas at about 600 pounds per square inch. The carbon dioxide gas forms tiny, 600-psi bubbles in the candy. Once it cools, you release the pressure and the candy shatters, but the pieces still contain the high-pressure bubbles. If you look at a piece of popping candy with a magnifying glass, you should be able to see the bubbles.
When you put the candy in your mouth, it melts (just like hard candy) and releases the bubbles with a loud POP! What you are hearing and feeling is the 600-psi carbon dioxide gas being released from each bubble!
Don't try it at home, try asking a chemistry specialist!
