 1. DIY Spring Candy Bark

This easy, no-bake treat is a showstopper! Start with a base of melted white or dark chocolate (or a swirl of both), spread it on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and sprinkle with Arctic Farms Freeze-Dried Gummy Bears, Marshmallows, and Candy Party Mix. Add festive sprinkles or edible flowers for a touch of spring magic. Let it cool and harden, then break into colorful shards that are perfect for party platters, gifts, or snacking.

 3. Fizzy Fruit Freeze-Dried Refresher

Add a freeze-dried twist to your spring beverages! Start with sparkling water or lemonade and stir in a spoonful of freeze-dried strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries. The fruit rehydrates slightly, infusing your drink with natural flavor and fun texture. For a mocktail vibe, top with fresh mint and a splash of juice. Refreshing, fun, and completely unique!
