Hey,
I haven’t tried it myself but I’ve seen videos and it looks really cool!
The reaction happens because ingredients in the sweet react with the carbon dioxide in the coke to produce the big eruption. The sweets are covered in tiny pores which increases their surface area so that increases the rate of the reaction and produces the dramatic result. Myth busters investigated it more
