Review: Original Skittles Pop'd

Original Skittles Pop'd features freeze-dried Original Skittles candies. Like a regular bag of Original Skittles, they include Lemon, Lime, Orange, Strawberry, and Grape flavors. They're also available in Sour flavors.

A 5.5-oz costs around $6.29 but I received this courtesy of Skittles.

These are so named as the freeze-drying process causes the Skittles to burst open. Where regular Skittles have a chewy, gel-like center, Skittles Pop'd have a puffed texture similar to honeycomb candy and Cocoa Puffs cereal. There's a nice crispy crunch to them throughout.

Flavor-wise, they taste the same as regular Skittles but with a more intensely sweet and fruity flavor.

Overall, Original Skittle Pop'd are worth trying if you've never had freeze-dried candy before as there's an enjoyable novelty factor at play. The crunch was pretty satisfying and, if you're a fan of Skittles, the bolder flavor is unlikely to disappoint.
