Fizzing Sherbet Powder (Candy Powder)

"Posted in response to a request. This is a homemade version of the fruit-flavored candy powder that's sold in little cardboard sticks. You can lick off a spoon, or a straw, or even a licorice tube. I haven't tried it, but someone else has and said it came out very good. And since it wasn't here on zaar, now it is!"
