Carbonated Sugar Crackle Crystals 500g

Carbonated sugar crystals are produced by melting & hot mixing, a solution of sugar, lactose, corn syrup & water combined with carbon dioxide gas at 600 psi. On evaporation of the water and subsequent cooling, the gas pressure is released, shattering the solid sugar mass and encapsulating a percentage of the pressurised carbon dioxide within the sugar pieces. These crystals are then cocoa butter or chocolate-coated to protect them from moisture.
When the crackle crystals are eaten the temperature and moisture of the mouth melts the coating realising the small carbon dioxide bubbles resulting in a mouth popping sensation, guaranteed to liven up any dish!
Natural (cocoa butter coated) crystals are best applied to finished deserts & petit four just before serving to retain the maximum popping effect; however, they can also successfully be included in low moisture content preparations such as chocolate, icings & butters.
