Freeze dried candy and fruit products are one of the latest Tik Tok and Instagram fades. Yes, it is so delicious and shelf stable for a long time on its own, but other than eating it there are so many uses for it that no one is talking about.
Here are five of our favorite ways to use these sweet and delicious delicacies!
1. Ice cream topping!
No matter how old you are, ice cream is one of the best treats for any hot summer day or even in the dead of winter in my personal opinion! Why not mix it up with a crunchy freeze dried topping.
Some ice cream combo ideas:
Vanilla ice cream and huckleberry taffy (or just about any freeze dried candy!)
Chocolate ice cream and freeze dried marshmallows
Cotton Candy ice cream and freeze dried fruit drops
2. Trail Mix
Everyone normally thinks of putting things like M and M’s or chocolate of some sort in their trail mix for on the go, by how about freeze dried marshmallows or freeze dried Winkies instead? Not only are these options delicious but they also won’t melt in the sun leaving your hands all messy when you get hungry for a snack!
3. Charcuterie Board
These trendy boards of snack foods are super popular for hosting or just for a date night in, but what about adding freeze dried candy to your charcuterie board? Not only will this add a sweet flavor, but also brings in a new texture. The soft crunch of freeze dried candy goes great with cheese, or fresh fruit. Plus, you could even just make a desert charcuterie board to go next to your meat, cheese, and crackers board.
4. Gifts
What a fun way to say, Happy Birthday, Merry Christmas, or even just I love you than with freeze dried candy. The great thing is our company, Sawtooth Sweet Shoppe, ships through the entire United States so even if your loved one lives far away it is easy to ship them a gift. Plus, it is something that is easy to eat for any age person and a fan favorite with the kiddos! Think stocking stuffers or even a gift for finals week for your college age kid!
