Freeze Dried Candy: Our Top Picks

[@TheWyomingHomestead]

We are so excited to finally get to freeze dry our foods! for those of you what have had freeze dried candy, what are your favorites?

[@sarahmilton]

Never had any but looks like I need to try!

[@j.s.6659]

York choc. Reisen’s, jolly ranchers, and Hichew soda pops.

[@ABlueDahlia]

When you were freeze drying them you set the temp to do candy mode, but then didn't turn the candy mode on when you started - so it took like 12+ hours, but if you had just done candy mode would have been much quicker. like 3-5 depending on how long you wanted to do them.

[@TheWyomingHomestead]

I know, silly mistake 😊

[@ABlueDahlia]

I've done it before, it's so frustrating because you think it's working like it's supposed to. lol Sorry, didn't want to come across like a knowitall. @@TheWyomingHomestead

[@SarahZenBrady]

Love the candies you chose, especially Bit O Honey!

[@tracyhamilton1980]

Fun expirement! I tried freeze dried taffy and its also good.

[@TheWyomingHomestead]

Thank you! 😊 We will have to try it sometime!

[@rodeoandrye]

[@billiestafford8002]

This was so much fun. I LOVE freeze dried candy, especially skittles!!

[@TheWyomingHomestead]

Thank you so much!! Good choice, freeze dried skittles are so so yummy!! 😊

[@karriemb4184]

So happy for you and excited to see what you use it for !!! A freeze dryer is a future goal!!

[@TheWyomingHomestead]

Thank you so much! Can’t wait to bring you all along for the adventures! 😊

[@LauraFenstermacher]

Thanks so much. I'll have to do a taste test with my family.

[@kerryberry142]

Our top candies freeze dried…sour skittles, caramel, fruit roll ups, peach gummy circles, and gummy sharks. Every 4-5 load is candy for the grandkids.

[@TheWyomingHomestead]

Oh yummy! I bet the sour skittles are really good! We will have to give those all a try, thank you for the recommendation!

[@tjgydesen6729]

With candy desiccant packs instead of O2 absorbers.

[@Anne.411]

I think jolly ranchers and the nerd clusters are the best things to freeze dry

[@jago4673]

FYI: If you have a Winco near by, bit o honey is in bulk section. It is sold by the pound.

[@tjgydesen6729]

Parchment or silcone mats are you friend when doing candy.

[@HarperGrimsley]

Where did you get your free dry candy maker?

[@minicufer]

Those would probably make great fun gifts, maybe not the tooth-breakers.😂Last Christmas, my son was gifted a freeze dried, snowman shaped marshmallow pop and he had fun dipping in hot cocoa!

[@TheWyomingHomestead]

Wow that is such a cute idea! I will have to keep that in mind this coming holiday season for the kiddos!

[@jeffwilliams5256]

You are the cutest couple on the planet! Hubby you can teach lessons.... love your video ❤

[@TheWyomingHomestead]

😊 thank you

[@brendablake8264]

You cant eat those things in the trees waiting for game- they will hear you a mile away!!! Lol

[@TheWyomingHomestead]

Haha that’s no kidding! We will have to save them for evening around the camp so we don’t scare everything away with our crunching! 😊

[@Berserkeroverland]

How do you keep the candies from sticking together.

[@TheWyomingHomestead]

They are kept very dry and we don’t have much humidity so we don’t do anything special

[@donnikubbitz2146]

I could see me buying milk dud's tons of times through the yr with the ability to fd. WAY different experience. Like you both said, less frustrating.

[@TheWyomingHomestead]

Yes, so much more pleasant! 😊

[@sarahmilton]

LOVE LOVE LOVE the ASMR is so perfect 🎉❤😂

[@TheWyomingHomestead]

Haha thank you so much!

[@carolsugarbaker450]

You should try the Big Hunk candy. Very good. Freeze the bar and then break it into pieces the freeze dry. Very good.

[@TheWyomingHomestead]

This is awesome! Thank you so much for the recommendation! 😊

[@Mcc49Tlc37]

Tastes like crunchy divinity!!!❤

[@mjmbishop]

You should try freeze drying jolly ranchers Is there out of this world

[@TheWyomingHomestead]

We will! Thank you so much for the suggestion!

[@courtneylubell5564]

What freeze dryer is good for candy?🙂

[@LauraHickmanLauraHickman]

Harvest right’s new models have a candy setting.

[@kamii-u5q]

Yummy❤

[@missmollycollie911]

Cut bit o honey in half as well.

[@kristinagerik4304]

What brand of freeze dryer did you get?

[@TheWyomingHomestead]

We love the Harvest Right: affiliates.harvestright.com/2148.html

[@stephaniecoakley90]

You didn’t switch the red candy button to green ?

[@crystalh1402]

My biggest hesitation on the freeze dryer is the noise. We don’t have a basement and our house is only 1300SF, I feel like you would hear it in every room.

[@TheWyomingHomestead]

I think you are right they get to be pretty loud I wonder if I garage or something would work?

[@karenhowell7850]

I have a Harvest Right medium FD. I don't think it is any louder than a window air conditioner. We set ours up in our front room and seldom notice it beyond that room.

[@j.s.6659]

I just got the medium FD, not a lot of noise. Tolerable at any rate.

[@jeschinstad]

Why does the candy need to be frozen first, though? I would think that simply heating it to that temperature under vacuum would be enough?

[@TheWyomingHomestead]

That is just what the machine does on its own. It automatically freezes it then what’s it up with a ton of pressure.

[@goodmorning713]

​@@TheWyomingHomestead no. When you customize it you can turn the initial freeze off.

[@Clan501-Scotland]

Whats your OF?

[@venidamcdaniel1913]

I cut my bit if honey into thirds.

[@TheWyomingHomestead]

So so smart!

[@regenerativeliberty7915]

Hi-chews need to be done like starburst and they will blow up better.

[@debbiebeckstead9268]

I want to do candy niw! Your husband is cute just like you 🙃

[@TheWyomingHomestead]

Thank you so much! I agree! 😊

[@RandyFrese-v3y]

You forgot to turn on candy mode

[@TinkerBell-bt6vu]

That's exactly what I was thinking! So did they put it on for 12 hours because it went through the whole process!?

[@lynnescaddan8919]

Thanq for the video I think if I'd been u I'd have broken the sweet with a toffee hammer, you don't want to chip a tooth so close to your wedding. ( it's 10th June today).

[@TheWyomingHomestead]

Hahaha you’re so right 🤣 silly me to not even think about that! Luckily no teeth were harmed in the making of this video 😊

[@Furandflav]
