Those gummy bears look amazing haha
Too funny 😂
Oh, yeah, I forgot. I freeze-dry my candy for 7 hours. Once candy or anything is dry it can't get any dryer so not to worry but it helps to get those larger candies to dry.
I wonder if you squish the jelly beans so that they have cracks in them, if they would freeze dry better. The gummy bears look awesome. The freeze dryer seems like a great way to get kids to eat less candy. You can give them 1 gummy bear & they'll think they hit the jackpot. :)
That’s totally my thinking too - they think they’re getting more, when really it’s less!!
Have you freeze dried Oreos. If so did you use candy mode?
Do yum earth candies work in the freeze dryer? I have a granddaughter that can’t have food dyes.
I haven’t tried those before - I’ll have to keep my eye out. I did do the “smart sweets” brand of gummies before and they did nothing in the freeze dryer, but not sure if the ingredients are similar to yum earth
Good morning, we hva been having the same issues with candy not puffing up. After having some time experimenting, what candies have been working for you the best for you?
Skittles always great - caramel m&ms, big hunks are probably my favorite!!! Nerds gummy clusters (pink bag) are good too
@DIYfreezedry the skittles have turned out great everytime. The gummy clusters once were a little chewy. Kind of hit and miss with them. Saltwater taffy has been a sucess just as much as the skittles. Might have to give the M&M's a try. Just trying to get some more ideas for variety. Thank you for you advise, hope you freeze drying is going great! Just getting started here :)
Where do you purchase the Big Hunk candy?

How do you do peach rings my puff up like the gummy bears ?
I am still struggling with peach rings.... I usually do the same settings but no pre heating
I hate using parchment paper so I have found that Amazon has silicon mats you can use. I love them and will not go back to parchment.
Awesome - I do have a set of silicone mats I use a lot for foods, but don’t use much with candy I should use those more
The gummy bears 😱
Haha so crazy
Where do I find the links?
Right under the video title click more… then there’s a video description and another place to click “see more” then scroll and links are there 😃

Do you put oxygen absorbers in those bags or just seal them?
No absorbers I just heat seal them closed and they are good for 4-6 months 👍🏻
Thank you!
I don’t see a link to the precut parchment paper.
Shoot! Thanks for letting me know I knew I was forgetting something let me grab it

You can select your tray size
Have you freeze dried Oreos. If so do you use candy more?
I haven’t tried Oreos yet - my kids keep asking me to so I need to! I would probably do a full freeze dry cycle on those. I have done mini cupcakes before and ran on normal cycle, so I’m guessing would be similar but not totally sure!
@@DIYfreezedry Thanks so much. I just purchased a Harvest Freeze Drier in October. Love your videos. So helpful. I’ll let you know how I make out. Might try making them this weekend.
@@user-ii1iq5se5g yes let me know how it turns out!! Thanks so much for watching!
I will I’m very excited
