This recipe will make as many stuffed fruit roll ups as you choose to make*
Directions:
- Unwrap each fruit roll-up as you are ready to use it.
- Decide whether to keep the fruit roll-up at full length or cut it down to a smaller size.
- Place candy in the center of the fruit roll-up, leaving enough space around it to fold the fruit roll-up over the candy as it expands.
- Loosely roll the fruit roll-up and candy into a tube shape.
- Place the rolled fruit roll-up on a parchment-lined tray.
- Repeat steps 1-5 until you have made the desired number of stuffed fruit roll-ups.
- Set your freeze dryer to the appropriate candy mode temperature for the type of candy you are using. For example, use 135°F for Skittles and 150°F for Nerds Gummy Clusters.
- After the 15-minute cool-down period, add warming time as needed for the candy. If preheating is required, place a sheet of parchment over the fruit roll-ups. (Skittles do not typically require preheating, but Nerds Gummy Clusters may.)
- Run the freeze-drying cycle for the same duration you would normally use for the stuffing candy.
- Allow the fruit roll-ups to cool completely before packaging. They will become crunchy as they cool.
- Store in jars for short-term use or in mylar bags for long-term storage
