CRAZY RESULTS! I Try Freeze Drying 9 Different Candies First Time

Freeze Dry candy gummies for the first time. In this video, I try to freeze dry my own candies and gummy. Freeze drying is a process that removes moisture from foods, such as astronaut food, to make it preserve for longer time. This is a first time trial of me using my machine. I hope to make more experiments to get similar results as ‪@TheKingofRandom‬ freeze dry videos. Which candies should I try next?

I have had the freeze dried candy. You definitely need to dry yours longer. Skittles are actually really goody when they are completely freeze dried.

[@WhyCantItJustBeAngel]

Yes!!! Freeze dried Skittles are the bomb!! You can tell when they're ready when they're completely puffed up and the white part is really white. The Skittles are my favorite freeze dried candy!

[@MsKatherineLeigh]

Came here to say this.

[@hauntcoco]

They kinda dissolve really easily, very satisfying to me lol

[@aaronruthnick2687]

They r the bomb the skittles not any other things u said

[@gracehowell.]

I assumed they'd get really hard and break your teeth. I stand corrected.

[@courtneyagraver2753]

Try the same candies again but leave them in for 24 hours. You got what would be considered half dried candy. They started the freeze drying process and never had a chance to finish. They will be amazing with just a bit more time!

[@MorningStar2341]

Yes i think and hope she tryes it again

[@pegcosta2133]

❤

[@shaunacorrigan9372]

It goes a little faster if you freeze the candy in a regular freezer before putting it in the freeze dryer!

[@angel_vii]

You should do your best to seal any freeze dried foods in an airtight container immediately after freeze-drying and don't open it until you intend to consume. They will start absorbing ambient moisture in the air around you because they are SO dry. 💜

[@NinaNoobsy]

Jackie, I'm so happy that you're going back to this type of content! I really missed your craft and food related videos

[@Goldflower220]

agree! i was so tired of her mini unboxings

[@nsjak4ever0413]

I would love for you to do a whole series on this. Just freeze drying a bunch of different candies. I mean you already spent the money on machine might as well use it 🥰

[@windihornsby-md3vi]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS

[@TheFeralViola]

Candy is fun to freeze dry, but I also love freeze dried fruits! Bananas and strawberries are my favorite. I would say definitely dry them longer and, as soon as you can, put them in a sealed container because otherwise they start absorbing the moisture in the air and returning to their original form.

[@rachelgeinert4041]

I love freeze dried grapes!

[@alexandraw909]

​@@rachelgeinert4041 I normally just freeze grapes😂😂😂😂 I can only imagine how yummy freeze dried grapes would be!!!!

Freeze dried beets are pretty great too!

[@Sarahc-mn1tr]

Freeze dried fruit sounds amazingly delicious. I do love dried fruits too. Mango is soooo good that way, but then i love anything mango.

My cousin’s wife runs a freeze drying LLC and my favorite thing she freeze dries is salt water taffies!!!! The texture is SO FASCINATING while you’re eating it🤤🤤🤤

[@ACEsParkJunheeWreckedMeHard]

I never had freez dried candy. Is not a thing in Germany, I guess. All we have is some stores sell freez dry mango, pinaple and strawberry in slices and sometimes it is even freez dry straberry or rhaspberry in chocolate coating. But thats it

[@nicanonymus2491]

@@ACEsParkJunheeWreckedMeHard Same here in 🇨🇭 I bought freeze dried fruits but I never saw candys. 😢

[@ShintogaDeathAngel]

I tried some freeze dried taffy last month and it was rad. Crunchy and sticky!

[@AllUrFail]

Freeze dried taffy is my addiction. I just can't stop eating it when we get it!

[@cherrybomb3033]

Yes salt water taffy is my favorite freeze dried candy. The texture is completely different from taffy & just disintegrates in your mouth. It's like cotton candy in a way.

[@RussGussDoodles]

I think you might have messed something up because the texture is supposed to be completely different, not just crispy on the outside. The Skittles specifically should basically dissolve in your mouth and not taste anything like normal skittles. Can’t wait to see your next attempt! ❤️

[@novademon6487]

The gummies did not inflate like expected because of the Brand difference as stated, Haribo brand gummies change dramatically in the freeze dryer and Skittles brand skittles also act as expected.

[@aslan-leemckee695]

Agreed. Esp having tried the skittles myself. They didnt even go back to chewy when i ate them. Normal skittles im not a fan of, freeze dried ill eat happily.

[@RussGussDoodles]

@@novademon6487 It might have been the brand but based on the fact the Skittles were chewy I don’t think so. To me it seemed like Jackie didn’t leave them in long enough, she put to many in, or something was up with the machine itself.

[@crystalpeacebear1985]

@@RussGussDoodles I've seen other put in more candy on a tray than Jackie and and they turned out better than what she had.

[@zhalikkaify]

You should try it

[@TiffYG2133]

Some Japanese snack candies would be cool to do like Hi-Chew, milk candies & Ramune candies!

[@heididavison816]

I’ve had freeze dried Hi-chews! They are INTENSE in flavor. I prefer the normal

[@ajaungst]

Love that you are trying this out and are having fun with the process! The problem with doing chewy candies is the pectin and the sugar content. Citruses have the same problem and do the same bubbling texture. Yes, you will need a longer drying time of at least 12 to 16 hours added to the original dry time. Certain foods will absorb moisture from the air more quickly than others so it is good to put them away in air-tight containers as soon as possible. Have fun with your freeze dryer we love ours for putting away our garden-grown veggies and fruits.

[@gemini1005]

These look rly cool. My friend has a freeze dryer and I'm like 90% sure the candy needs to be in longer cuz his puffed up alot and was alot more crunchy. Either way, I LOVE that you got this and trying different candies and whatever else in it! Cant wait to see what all yall find!

[@daliaal-hasiniani1944]

Is it just me or whenever I have a bad day, I just come watch nerdecrafter and my day is fixed or get SO excited when you see a new vid, really my fav part of my day Thank you nerdecrafter for making my day!!

Jackie. I really really wanna say thank you for being a huge mood and mood lifter for me for the past 2 years now. Thank you I love you❤

[@shadith2380]

Definitely need to go longer. Skittles are so fun to eat, and they should be about double the size of what you had here (or more).

I love these videos! My favorite candy is caller Nerds Rope and I've never really seen them freeze dried so I'd be interested in you doing that! Maybe that and Twix too.

[@reii5337]

Coool, I love it when Jackie explains what freeze-drying actual is

[@belleekgirl]

You need to leave them longer for sure. A local store sells freeze-dried candy and the skittles are big/puffy looking. A friend says they basically crunch and crumble and are not gummy at all.

[@angeloflove777]

Jackie so glad to see your smiling face sending you blessings and hugs and lots of love to you and your family. ❤❤

I've never had freeze dried candy, it sounds so good!

And I also loved this video!

[@NanaColeen]

Thanks Jackie for this yummy video. Keeping the shaker green👍❤

[@zaraheart]

Edit: I love how it says “Jackie’s toy” 😂 Definitely leave them in longer and don’t keep them out too long because they will regain the moisture if you leave them out for a while. I love freeze dried candies. There’s a store online that just sells freeze dried candy and it’s so good. I can link the website if anyone is interested. I just don’t want KZbin to flag me lol. I highly recommend freeze dried skittles to anyone!! When it’s done right, They are indeed so good. My favorite candies are Whatchamacallit, Toblerone, Snickers, War Heads, sour lemon drop mint things, and anything watermelon flavored lol

You definitely didn't dry them long enough. Nothing should have been soft. Hope you enjoy your freeze dryer. It has been a dream of mine to get one. ❤

[@cherrboy1919]

This is so awesome. I've been seeing so many shops pop up online and I've been wondering how it is. It would be really cool if you did a challenge of Pat against Sika and have them blindfolded while having them guess by the touch to see if they can figure out what candy it originally was and then have them eat it to see if that changes their guess

[@chessknight4497]

there is only ONE thing missing in this Videi, that is indeed a very lovely person - Sika!

[@KimLadouceur]

Some Canadian chocolate bars would be cool: Aero, Coffee Crisp, Crispy Crunch, & most curious what would happen to a Crunchie, since the toffee is practically a freeze-dried texture already. As for candies, I like wine gums & Turkish Delight.

[@lmaree200886]

Nothing happens to honeycomb or chocolate

[@chamileeon]

I order from a local business that makes freeze dried candy, and I prefer their hard candies over gummies. The texture crystallizes and I love the mouth feel. The gummies are super airy, which is nice too. My favorite are jolly ranchers and Werther's hard caramels. I also really like their nerd gummies. I didn't like their taffies (like Starbursts) tho bc they got pretty hard. I think that's why I do *not* like the Skittles bc it's like a weird sandy rock with a detached shell lol.

[@torbengrewy-isen8680]

Jackie just being her funny nerdy self, and us as her fans genuinely enjoying watching her just be herself. PS the candy looks great, would love to try some myself one day:)

[@EmJJ86]

Would love to see you try more foamy sweets like foam shrimps or foam bananas. Edinburgh Rock or Scottish Tablet would be really interesting to see how they fair when freeze dried as well, very different in texture to both rock candy and fudge xx

[@Annie_Annie__]

Foam shrimps??? That doesn’t sound like a treat to me, lol, it sounds like either a type of packing peanuts or a home-cooked meal that went very wrong. 😆 I’m from the States and I’ve never heard of any of the sweets you mentioned. I’d be interested in trying them, but I do have to wonder what candy-maker originally thought of making pink candy that’s shaped like _shrimp_ . Lol

[@EmJJ86]

@@Annie_Annie__ they’re made to look like shrimp (or prawns) but are strawberry or raspberry flavoured, first made by Bassetts in the 1940s. I don’t know how they came around, I just remember as a kid you were able to get them along with foam bananas in the pick n mix section of Woolworths or smaller sweet shops. Would often be 1p per sweet. They’re very different in texture compared to other foam sweets you can get, like the foam ones in Rowntrees Randoms are very chewy and squishy. These are firmer and if you squish them they won’t go back to their original shape.

[@EmJJ86]

Also Edinburgh Rock and Scottish Tablet you can only get in Scotland, the MIL brings me home some sometimes. Edinburgh Rock is very soft and almost chalky in texture and Tablet is very crumbly and extremely sweet; think of fudge that’s lost a lot of moisture and crumbles when you go to bite it. It’s really good!

[@hanaranakhattab]

I had trouble with the same thing the candies, they were.dragged on the floor because they were so long! I love your work❤

I’ve never tried freeze-dried candies before so I wouldn’t know what to expect on flavor, to be honest with you Jackie 😅😅😅

[@Taracinablue]

I work at a country store that sells a ton of candy, and we just got freeze-dried candy in. I'd never heard of it before, but it's selling really well. I admit I'm curious, but I have some major food sensitivities, and I don't dare try any.

[@DudetChic]

[@randomnames7524]

The reason that they didn't get big is because you didn't heat them up enough Also a reason some were really hard and partly chewy

[@singingsiren82]

I got freeze dried skittles and they wet extremely crunchy, so I'm thinking you need to leave them in longer. Maybe your machine isn't as strong as others. I'd say spend the $10 to $15 just to try it out and see the difference.

[@Gatyena]

It's fun to see you try new things. I was actually curious to see what was going to happen to all of those candies. Would you try to freeze dry mintchocolate bar sometime? I know it might not technically be a candy, but it's one of my favourites and I'm curious to see what will happen to it.

Jackie it definitely makes a difference if they're laying out.. You need to either try them straight out of the freeze dryer or store them in an airtight container or even better in a vacuum seal container.. They rehydrate using the moisture in the air when left exposed.. and also leave them in for longer..
