Confecetionary
This is the freeze dried sweet range that sits alongside the counter at Vapestore Direct. Ten listings in total, nine of them in stock at the time of writing, every one of them from Freezy Treats and every one priced at £3.00 a bag.
Freeze drying is not the same as dehydrating. The sweets are frozen solid first, then the ice inside them is drawn off under vacuum without ever passing back through a liquid stage. What is left behind is the sugar structure with the water gone. That is why a freeze dried sweet is light, brittle and considerably louder to eat than the version it started life as.
What freeze drying does to a sweet
Texture
Chewy becomes crunchy. A gummy that used to need real work from your back teeth shatters instead, then dissolves almost immediately on the tongue. Puffed pieces expand as the water leaves, so a small gummy cluster can come out several times its original size while weighing almost nothing. The result sits somewhere between a honeycomb and a meringue.
Flavour
Taking the water out concentrates everything left behind. Sugar, acid and flavouring end up packed into a smaller, lighter piece, so the first bite reads noticeably sharper and sweeter than the sweet it came from. Sour coatings in particular come through much more strongly once the moisture has gone.
What is in the range
Nine Freezy Treats sweets are currently available: Strawberry Cream Pips, Watermelon Slices, Sherbet Pips, Blue Razz Slices, X Chews, Squishies, Peachy Rings, Krunchies Rainbow Candy and Gummy Clusters. Toffee Choco Balls is listed in the collection but was sold out when this page was written.
Broadly the range falls into three groups. The slices and rings, meaning Watermelon Slices, Blue Razz Slices and Peachy Rings, hold a recognisable shape and snap cleanly. The puffed pieces, Squishies and Gummy Clusters, expand the most and are the lightest things in the bag. The pips and sherbet pieces sit at the small and intensely sour end of the range.
Storing them properly
Freeze dried sweets are hygroscopic, which is a technical way of saying they pull moisture straight out of the air around them. Once a bag is open, reseal it tightly or tip the contents into an airtight tub. Left out on a worktop overnight they soften and turn chewy again. The crunch does not come back.
Keep them somewhere cool and dry rather than in the fridge. A fridge is a humid environment and will soften them faster than a cupboard ever would. Direct sunlight on a windowsill is the other thing to avoid, because heat makes the sugar tacky.
How they are sold
Every bag in the range is £3.00 and each is a single flavour rather than a mixed pack. They ship in the same parcel as the rest of your order, which makes them a straightforward way to top an order up to the £20 threshold for free UK delivery.
Why sweets sit in a vape shop
Two reasons. Confectionery has been a standard counter line in British vape shops for years, sitting alongside papers, lighters and the other impulse buys people pick up at the till. Freeze dried sweets in particular share a vocabulary with vaping. Blue razz, sherbet, watermelon and rainbow candy are the same flavour families that dominate e-liquid ranges, so the crossover with what customers already order is obvious.
Confectionery contains no nicotine and is not age restricted in the way vaping products are. The rest of the site is for adults aged 18 and over only.
Delivery and support
UK delivery is free on orders over £20 and orders placed on working days are picked and dispatched quickly. If you want to check something before you order, the team is on 07827 210361 between 8.30am and 4.00pm.
Common questions about freeze dried sweets
What are freeze dried sweets?
They are ordinary sweets that have had their water removed by freeze drying. The sweet is frozen solid, then placed under vacuum so the ice turns straight to vapour without melting first. What remains is the sugar and flavouring in a light, airy, brittle form that crunches and then dissolves.
How are freeze dried sweets different from normal sweets?
Texture and intensity. A chewy gummy turns crunchy and shatters rather than stretching. Many pieces also puff up to several times their original size. Because the water has gone, the sugar, acid and flavouring are concentrated into a smaller piece, so the taste hits harder than the original sweet does.
How should I store freeze dried sweets?
In a sealed bag or an airtight tub, somewhere cool and dry. They draw moisture from the air, so an open bag left out overnight will go soft and chewy and will not crisp up again. Avoid the fridge, because the humidity in there softens them faster than a cupboard does.
How much do freeze dried sweets cost?
Every bag in the Freezy Treats range stocked here is £3.00. Each bag is a single flavour rather than a mix. UK delivery is free once your basket passes £20, so they are an easy way to round an order up to the threshold.
Do freeze dried sweets contain nicotine?
No. They are ordinary confectionery with no nicotine and no vaping component of any kind. They are not age restricted in the way the vaping products on this site are. Full ingredient and allergen information is printed on the individual packaging.
Which flavour should I try first?
If you want the biggest contrast with the original sweet, start with Gummy Clusters or Squishies, because puffed pieces change the most. If sour is what you are after, Sherbet Pips and Blue Razz Slices are the sharpest in the range. Watermelon Slices and Peachy Rings are the safest introduction if you are undecided.
