Yellow Snow (Lemon Bites)

Freeze-dried Yellow Snow offer a fun and unique twist on the classic hard candy, combining the intense, tart lemon flavor with a crispy, crunchy texture. Typically, Yellow Snow are small, round candies with a sweet and sour coating that gives way to a tart lemon-flavored core. When these candies are freeze-dried, the moisture is removed, transforming the hard, solid candy into a light, airy, and crunchy version.
The freeze-drying process intensifies the lemon flavor, making it more concentrated and vibrant than in the regular candy, with the tartness of the lemon and the sweetness of the sugar being even more pronounced. Because the moisture is removed, the texture of freeze-dried Yellow Snow becomes crisp and slightly fragile, allowing them to melt in your mouth much more quickly compared to the chewy or hard versions.
As you bite into them, you'll experience a satisfying crunch followed by a burst of tangy lemon flavor, without the usual hard shell. The freeze-drying also causes the candy to expand slightly, giving it an almost puffed texture, which adds to the novelty of the treat. It's a refreshing and unique way to enjoy the familiar flavor of Yellow Snow with a completely different mouthfeel and a more intense taste.
