I may have to try that, but is it really considered freeze-dried? If they have a layer of ice on them, they're not technically dried, more like frozen.

^Ah, then the title is correct. That must be sugar, not ice. I stand corrected.

Kinda funny but they are all the same flavor. They are colored and given the scent of a certain flavor to fool your senses but they actually all taste the same.

Fair warning: they're addictive.

If you just roll them around on your tongue, the internals will melt away like cotton candy, only quite a bit slower - but not as tangy as the normally-hydrated version - leaving the thin halves of the candy outer shell.

Or, you can just crunch on them and get more of a normal skittle flavor, but still a really different texture.

When I was searching for them in bulk (I've only found small bags from a candy vendor at a couple of recent holiday shows), I also ran across instructions for making them yourself. Pretty sure I can cover the cost of a freeze-dryer if I make enough. Big Grin

Similar in size and shape to M&Ms, but fruit-flavored instead of chocolate.

At 26.00 per lb. I'll buy a steak instead. Does sound intriguing though.

$26/pound sounds like a lot but it probably takes 4-5 pounds of skittles to make 1 pound of the freeze dried product. May have to try it.

For a real treat, try the freeze dried Haribo Sugar Free Gummi Bears.

These weigh nothing. A pound of freeze dried skittles probably lasts you a year!

I ordered 8 ounces and was quite happy for a while Smile
