Been told more than once to try freeze dried Jolly Ranchers, so…
Here we go!!
Got a bunch of Jolly Ranchers, so I hope they really are awesome!
Like other candies, I did Candy Mode on the Ice Queen (Harvest Right Home Pro Medium) for this. I spaced them out because I’ve been told they get big. I skipped the tray warming for these.
I’m excited about this one, cause if they get really big, that’ll be fun!

Hahahaha, omg, they go GINORMOUS!!
These are beyond awesome! They’re freaking HUGE! They’re super airy and crispy. I really dig them! I honestly can’t believe how big they got. I will need to clean off the tops of the freeze dryer racks now. Some of the Jolly Ranchers got so big they got a little stuck to the rack tops, lol.
And.. freeze dried Jolly Ranchers took how long?
I did the usual 3 hours like I do for other candies, like the freeze dried Skittles. Some weren’t quite done though, so I ran it for an extra hour. For these going forward, I will do four hours from the start.
Happy freeze drying!!
