Cosmic Freeze Shooting Starz Dried Candy, Crunchy Dry Candy for Mix-In Snacks Dried, Gluten-Free, Made in USA, 2.4 Oz, 3-pack

The berry flavored skittles are my favorite, so I was excited to try these out. I was not disappointed, I loved these too. If freeze dried candies weren't so expensive, I'd buy these more often. But not too often, because I wouldn't be able to stop eating them.

Update: While I don't love these, I shared them with a sugar-addict friend and she loved them, so I bumped up this rating by a star. She stole the bag, so there you have it! *** Whatever these were before they were freeze dried - they were not the best quality candy. After freeze-drying they are just weird, for lack of a better word. They don't taste that great when you eat them and have a weird aftertaste. I ate a couple and honestly didn't want any more. Maybe someone else would, but personally, I would try something else if you are feeling adventurous. What's really lacking is that fun effect of some freeze-dried foods. The melting-in-your- mouth effect. None of that here.

Freeze-dried skittles have somehow made me love a candy I was "meh" about previously. They're totally different texture wise than normal, instead of the usual skittles chewiness, they are kind of puffy and the middle dissolves in your mouth. Then the candy shell remains to crunch down on. It really makes skittles dramatically better in my opinion. I enjoy these very much. It's a small bag and I am kind of glad it's not bigger because they are hard to resist! There were very few broken pieces, and just a small amount of sugar dust at the bottom of the bag. The best-by date is three years out (nearly) which is amazing. But these won't last till the end of the week. Beyond all that I think the branding is super cute with the little astronaut on the bag.

First time trying freeze dried candy, and I wanted to check out the hype. I can't say I loved it. It brought all the sour and sweet flavor of sour Skittles without any of the juicy chewy quality that make Skittles good. These left me with an uncomfortable, dry puckering mouth. The flavor may even come across a bit concentrated in this form; which just seems to aggravate your palate after it's been made raw by their jagged, coarse texture. The candies look like Skittles that are bursting like unfinished popcorn, but they seem to be as fresh as freeze dried candy can be. The quality here was perfectly acceptable, the candies just weren't that pleasant too me. The bag was also pretty small for $7. If you really like aggressively crunchy, sour candies; try it out. I wouldn't buy it again though.

I'd seen these freeze-dried candies in the stores for a while so I thought I'd try some. They are not a bad flavor -- typical slightly sour fruit flavors, like many other candies. The best part is the texture, however. they are solid but airy, and they "crush" rather than "crunch," if that makes sense. I found them to be a bit cloying after eating a few, but they are the sort of thing little kids would love. I think they are a bit too pricy for what you get, but the price is similar to what I've seen in stores, so I guess that's just the going rate. I'm glad I tried them, and I would definitely buy them again if I had small kids to please, but overall they aren't really my thing. The texture and crush/crunch do make them fun to eat, though!

I recently tried this freeze-dried candy, and it was a fun and delicious treat! The texture is completely different from regular candy—it’s light and crispy, almost like it melts in your mouth as soon as you bite into it. The flavor is intense and fruity, but not overly sweet, which makes it a great snack for anyone who loves candy with a twist. What I love most is how unique and fun it is to eat. Each piece has a crunchy, airy texture that’s totally satisfying. It’s perfect for snacking on during movie nights or sharing with friends. Plus, the packaging is really cute and keeps everything fresh. If you’re looking for something new and exciting to try, freeze-dried candy is definitely worth it. It’s a fun, tasty treat that’s a little different from what you’d expect. I’ll definitely be getting more!

The "Cosmic Freeze Shooting Starz Freeze Dried Candy, Crunchy Freeze Dry Candy for Mix-In Snacks Candy Freeze Dried, Gluten-Free, Made in USA, 2.4 Oz" is hard to resist. These candies are delicious! They have great flavor and are crunchy ..... or if you have the willpower, you can let them melt in your mouth. I'm not normally a big candy person but since I discovered freeze-dried candy in the last year I can't resist it. It's fun, great tasting and makes a great treat. The candy arrived in whole pieces with little sugar chaf in the bottom. I appreciate the zipper-type closure to help keep it fresh. I received my package in October 2024. The Best by date isn't until 01/2027. Made in the USA.

The freeze-drying process gives it a light, crunchy texture that’s really different from what I’m used to. I like how the pieces melt in my mouth, almost like they dissolve, leaving a sweet flavor behind. It’s great to mix in with snacks like trail mix or just enjoy on its own. The fact that it’s gluten-free is a bonus too! However, I wish there were more pieces in the bag it’s only 2.4 oz which is small, and it feels like it’s gone quickly.
