KNO3 Smoke Bomb (Cooking & Burning)

Was bored so me and a buddy decided to make some smoke bombs.

You mix 3 parts Potassium Nitrate and 2 parts Powdered Sugar. Then you cook it in a pan until it starts looking like peanut butter. Then let it harden and have fun.

Cooking this can be dangerous, it's rare for it to catch fire but I'm sure it has happened before. Make sure you have a pan with high enough sides so that the flames (if on a gas stove) don't reach the mixture.

what do you meant by 3part kno3 and 2 parts sugar ?

[RandomTutsAndStuff]

@TheMosh97 Part can be whatever you want it to be, cups, ounces, gallons, pounds, etc. So if you do 3 Cups of Kno3 then you need 2 Cups powdered sugar.
