Frequently Asked Questions
What is freeze-dried candy and how is it made?
Freeze-dried candy is made by removing over 99% of moisture from regular sweets using a specialised freeze-drying process. The candy is first frozen at extremely low temperatures, then placed in a vacuum chamber where the ice sublimates directly into vapour. This transforms the texture into a light, crunchy, melt-in-your-mouth experience while intensifying the flavour.
What is the point of freeze-dried candy?
Freeze-dried candy offers intensified flavours because without moisture to dilute them, flavour compounds become concentrated. Each bite tastes significantly more potent than the original. The unique crunchy, airy texture is a completely different eating experience. They have gone viral on social media and major brands like M&M's now produce their own freeze-dried versions.
Are freeze-dried sweets safe to eat?
Yes, freeze-dried sweets are safe for both adults and children when eaten responsibly. They contain the same ingredients as regular candy with the moisture removed. For younger children, be mindful that the crunchy texture is different from regular sweets. As with all confectionery, enjoy in moderation.
Why are freeze-dried sweets so expensive?
Freeze-dried sweets cost more because the process requires specialised equipment (freeze-dryers cost thousands), consumes significant electricity, takes 24-48 hours per batch, and requires careful handling. Production capacity is limited compared to regular confectionery, which contributes to the premium price.
Where can I buy freeze-dried sweets in Ireland?
Party Sweets stocks a range of freeze-dried space candy with nationwide delivery across Ireland. Our selection includes freeze-dried versions of popular sweets with unique crunchy textures. Free delivery on orders over €60.
How should I store freeze-dried candy?
Store freeze-dried candy in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Exposure to moisture will cause the candy to lose its signature crunch. Sealed packets have a long shelf life (6+ weeks minimum) and can be bought well in advance of events.
