What are Lemon-Lime Bubble Pops?

These magical mermaid “bubble pops” are like little bites of fizzy, tangy treasure. They melt on your tongue and sparkle like sea foam. These treats are perfect for a mermaid tea party or ocean-themed craft day!

Fizzy Bubble Pops

In the hidden city of Nymerelle, no treat is more beloved than bubble pops. They are tiny, glowing orbs that sparkle like captured starlight. Mermaids love their sweet, tangy taste and the tickle of fizz that bursts like seafoam on their tongues. Each bubble pop is flavored by the tides and kissed with lemon-lime magic. When a mermaid laughs while eating one, a real bubble floats to the surface and if a human catches it, they’ll dream of the ocean all night long.

Ingredients:

Instructions:

  1. Mix the dry sparkle:
    In a small bowl, sift together powdered sugar, baking soda, and citric acid.
  2. Add flavor & color:
    Slowly add your lemon and lime concentrates a few drops at a time. Stir continuously. The mixture should begin to clump but not fizz — you want a slightly wet sand texture. If it fizzes too much, you added too quickly!
  3. Add glitter and color:
    Stir in edible glitter or luster dust and natural coloring for that extra magical shimmer.
  4. Press into molds:
    Pack the mix firmly into silicone molds. Slightly overfill each semi-sphere, so there’s a little mound. Let them sit for an hour.
  5. Join Spheres:
    Press two sphere halves together gently to help them stick. Scrape off excess that oozes out, and smooth the seam with your fingers. Let dry as a whole sphere in the mold overnight.
  6. Pop and store:
    Once hardened, remove the bubble pops and store them in an airtight container with a small packet of rice to keep them dry.
