Here are some treats that you can serve in a much different way

Give your family a ‘sweet treat’ this summer! Freeze-dried candy is always a customer favorite and is by far one of the tastiest things your freeze dryer is capable of. Below is a list of some ideas to get you started!

Skittles:
Skittles are a fun experiment to try with your freeze dryer. These small, chewy candies will expand to nearly triple their size. Along with this massive size change, they’ll also change textures! The skittles will go from a chewy candy to a crunchy, lighter one! A near complete transformation. These treats also are packed full of flavor once freeze dried. A helpful tip to keep them from sticking to the tray is to use silicone mats or parchment paper. Then break them apart and enjoy!

Saltwater Taffy:
Saltwater taffy is the perfect summertime treat, a fun food to freeze dry, and a customer favorite. These candies don’t only taste good, but also look very pretty and have a nice presentation. Saltwater taffy puffs up in the freeze dryer and becomes even sweeter. We suggest you cut taffy in half (or fourths) for bite-size snacking. Make sure to leave plenty of room for taffy to expand.

Jolly Ranchers:
Jolly Ranchers are a tasty treat to freeze dry. These hard candies will puff up and become something entirely new. They become slightly crunchy and airy and much easier to chew than a regular Jolly Rancher. If you leave them whole, make sure to leave plenty of space for them to expand. Many customers cut them in half using All-Purpose Utility Shears.

Milk Duds:
These candies may not be the first ones you think of when you think of freeze-dried desserts! However, these treats may just be the most exciting. These small, chocolate covered caramels end up going through a complete transformation in your machine. Customers love these puffed up, crunchy candies!

Gummy Bears:
Gummy bears are by far one of the customer favorites to try. These small candies grow nearly double their size and become light weight and crunchy. They also become sweeter and have a richer flavor,
