Not every batch is a winnerโฆ and I thought Iโd show you what that actually looks like.
This tray took me about an hour just to open and prep. Then 12 hours in the freeze dryer.
Out of 5 packets of lolliesโฆ I ended up with about 3 boxes worth.
The rest? Didnโt puff properly, didnโt dry right, or just didnโt make the cut.
Thatโs 1 hour of work, 12 hours of electricity, and most of the stock gone.
This is the part you donโt usually see.
Freeze-drying isnโt an exact science. Even when you do everything right, some lollies just donโt behave.
So if you ever see certain products out of stock or missing for a bitโฆ this is why.
Canโt win them all โ but when they DO work, theyโre worth it ๐
