You could go with a colder plug, but you definitly need to compensate for lack of fuel since its only a dry kit.

Could've been........

You getting on the nitrous then backing out enough for it not to spray and the engine was still compensating for all the air coming in and was still adding more fuel. That usually causes a backfire but isn't anything that could seriously damage anything from minimum exposure.
