One of the most exciting new players in this trend? Skittles, with their upcoming launch of Skittles Pop’d, a freeze-dried version of their iconic candy in both original and sour flavors. Get ready for a whole new snacking experience, because these freeze-dried Skittles will change the way you enjoy your candy fix!

What is Freeze-Dried Candy?

Before we dive into the exciting new Skittles Pop’d, let’s talk a little bit about what freeze-dried candy actually is. Freeze-drying is a process that involves freezing the candy and then removing the moisture, leaving behind a light, crispy version of the original treat. This process retains all the flavor but transforms the texture into something airy and crunchy, which is a total game-changer for how you experience the candy.

So, what does this mean for the candy you already love? Well, freeze-drying gives it a whole new life. Candies that are normally chewy or soft become crispy and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Think of your favorite taffy, gummy, or marshmallow—but with a satisfying crunch that dissolves into a burst of flavor. It’s the same candy, but with an entirely different texture that makes it almost addictively snackable.

Skittles Gets In on the Freeze-Dried Fun

Now, for the big news: Skittles Pop’d is about to make its debut! Skittles has been a candy icon for decades with its chewy, fruity goodness, and now they’re taking things to a whole new level with freeze-drying. In the Skittles Pop’d line, both the classic Skittles and Sour Skittles will undergo the freeze-drying process, giving them that irresistible crunch while maintaining the bold flavors you know and love.
