Rainbow Candies: Often modeled after Skittles, freeze-dried rainbow bites, jumbo rainbows, sour rainbow, and sour jumbo rainbow are wildly popular for their puffed-up size, vibrant color, and punchy taste.

 

Geek and Nerd-Style Candies: These tart, crunchy candies expand into crispy clusters during freeze-drying, offering a unique mouthfeel that consumers love.
