We have a great video on making Frittles ua-cam.com/video/sVVIZfNBWws/v-deo.html Not sure on squashes. We've not tried those. My guess would be using 135/140° for 2 hours. Taffy takes a some good heat to puff up.

i want to know who started the $10 for almost no candy just because "it's freeze dried" i get the process takes time but simply freeze drying is not also MAKING the actual candy
If you have kids, freeze dried candy is brilliant. You give your kid a giant blown up whopper for example, maybe even two. The kid thinks Mom is giving them a TON of candy when in fact they just got two small whoppers. Both Mom & kid are happy. Win win! :)
It's expensive for sure, but it can be cost saving as well. I throw out SOOOOOO much food because I'm single & like to cook & can't seem to figure out how to cook small amounts. I can't eat everything I make & toss at least 50-75% of everything I cook. With a freeze dryer I could freeze dry the extras & eat them later. Depends on the circumstances, but for someone like me, it will pay for itself in a year.
I almost forgot, Harvest Right also does layaway. I think you have to put down $200 or $250. They ship when it's paid off. A great option and one I'm so close to doing. :)
do you know what the settings are for freeze drying stuff like squashes and skittles?

Can you open up door to check on them?

A genius, that's who started it.

A great lesson in supply and demand for sure.
The freeze dryer is TOO expensive !!!!
They are pricey. But it was an investment that is worth it for our homestead. We preserve large amounts of our harvest this way.
