Freeze Dried Candy Taste Test - Skittles Pop'd, Sours, Lemonhead, Sprees, Jolly Rancher, SweeTarts, M&M Caramels

I've seen some freeze dried candies and we've tasted a few freeze dried candies here, mostly Skittles and Starbursts, and they've typically been someone's homemade version of it. But recently manufacturers have started getting into it too, and the official freeze dried candy options have exploded! 

Our friends Beth, Mike, Savannah, and Charlotte are visiting us today and I know a couple of them that love love love candy. This seemed like the perfect taste test to do with them! 


Like usual here, we'll be trying the real thing along with the freeze dried version. Will freeze drying improve the candy? We'll see!

We're in DC and just finished a fun morning and afternoon at the Smithsonian National Zoo seeing the pandas. It's our last full day in DC, so before we go, there's a couple big sites we need to see. 

Like the reflecting pool, Lincoln Memorial, and Washington Monument!

Today is Day 7 of our 2023 Washington DC trip and we've left it pretty open. No specific plans, so we can just go do whatever we want. And what's the main thing the kids really want to do? If you guessed "Go back and see the pandas" you are 100% correct!
