Such a crazed riff on what was poor food for us. Trailer park molecular cuisine.

Hmm, cheese whiz made from Neal's Yard clothbound cheddar would be a tasty treat. Sure, you have some sodium citrate around!

This is beautiful, and I have questions.

1. Is the citric acid necessary for the chemistry and physics, or is it just for flavoring?

2. My son wants to make ham-flavored Pop Rocks. Does McCormick's make essence of ham?

What an amazing concept you have explored! Slop(py Drunk) Rocks rock! Now I’m wondering about how a Frito pie would be if you used Rice Krispies instead of Fritos...

I came here thinking this would be a riff on sloppy steaks, not expecting any of this science bullshit. Maybe a swig of some soda water and a handful of the beef rocks would make for good sloppy steak rocks.

Yeah, I got a rather nasty blister when I made candied walnuts not long ago. Sugar & oil like you said retain heat for a long time, and as a bonus are clingy as hell when it splatters on you.
