The freeze-drying process is called sublimation. This whole process completely removes water from the candy, then as soon as the water touches the freezing surface, it becomes ice. The ice then turns from solid to vapor by skipping a liquid phase. Through this process, texture and taste are drastically altered in the best positive way. Hard or chewy candy will transform into a much airier and lighter texture. Crunch, crunch, crunch, but it will melt away in seconds!
