TikTok Trend, No Gear Needed: Freeze-Dried Candy at Home
Grab your favorite sugar-based candies (think gummy worms, sour Skittles, peach rings) and toss them in a freezer-safe bag. Seal it up and place it in a small cooler.
For the dry ice method, use insulated gloves and add dry ice to the cooler at a 1:1 ratio with your candy. Pop the cooler in your freezer, but don’t seal the lid—let the dry ice do its thing for about 48 hours. Once the dry ice is gone, your candy is ready and can be stored in a sealed bag at room temp for ages.
If you don’t want to mess with dry ice, line a baking sheet with parchment, spread out your candies, and freeze for 2-3 weeks. When they’re totally frozen and keep their color after thawing, they’re good to go!
Both methods are super easy, but just know you won’t get the exact TikTok crunch without a real freeze dryer. Still, it’s a fun way to try the trend without dropping thousands on equipment!
