5 Freeze Dried Candies That Make Great Halloween Treats

Halloween is the perfect excuse to get creative with Halloween Treats. While chocolates and lollipops are classics, why not surprise trick-or-treaters with something truly out-of-this-world? Professor Plum’s Freeze-Dried Candy are crunchy, colorful, and irresistibly fun treats nerds of all ages can enjoy.

How Freeze-Dried Candy is Made

It all begins by chilling the candy to extreme temperatures — as low as -40°C. From there, the candy is placed inside a vacuum chamber, where the real magic happens. Under reduced pressure, the water inside the candy skips the liquid stage and transforms directly into vapor, a process called sublimation.

This cycle is repeated up to 100 times, removing more than 99% of the water content. What’s left behind is candy that’s crisp, colorful, and packed with intensified flavor — the same treats you know and love, but in an entirely new form.

That’s why Freeze-Dried Candy is such a perfect Halloween Treat: it’s familiar, but with a fun, space-age twist that will surprise kids and adults alike.

Why Freeze-Dried Candy?

Freeze Dried Candy gives a unique (and tasty) out-of-this-world experience to anyone who tries them! Using a process first designed for NASA’s Apollo missions, the moisture is removed from candy, leaving behind bold flavors, extra crunch, and vibrant colors. The result? Snacks that look fun, taste amazing, and store easily, making them perfect Halloween Treats.

Here’s what makes freeze dried candy so special:

• Unique – Familiar favorites transformed into something brand new with science.

• Crispy – A light, satisfying crunch with every bite.

• Delicious – Intensified flavors that pop in your mouth.

• Colorful – Bright, eye-catching candy that adds excitement to any party table.
