Our Story

Freeze Dried gummy bears next to regular gummy bears

NEK Sub-Zero Treats was born from a passion for innovation and a love of candy. As long-time residents of the Northeast Kingdom, we wanted to bring something new and exciting to the world of sweets in this region. After discovering the magic of freeze-drying, we set out to perfect the process and create a line of treats that would stand out in the candy market. Today, we are proud to offer a wide variety of freeze-dried goodies that are as fun to eat as they are delicious.

The Freeze-Drying Process

What makes our treats so special? It’s all in the freeze-drying! This method involves freezing the candy at extremely low temperatures and then removing the moisture. The result is a candy that retains its original flavor but has a completely different texture. Crunchy, light, and with a more intense taste, our freeze-dried candies provide a unique snacking experience.
