Pop! Fizz! Pucker! Swoon!!
What is this new sensational snack?!? It's freeze dried and full of mouthwatering flavor. Crazy good!
Happened upon this fledgling business while they were set up as a popup just outside of the Hawaiian Chip Company (originally stopping to buy chips from the HCC factory store on Republican St.). So happy we did. Got to meet the nicest owners in John and Bernie and hear about how this business got started. All the while John enthusiastically told us about their products and gave us samples to try. I swear, for a few seconds I was confused as I had gone through about 31 different flavors (ok slight exaggeration there) of samples and thought I was at "that" ice cream shop.
Samples of what you ask? Everything is freeze dried and delicious. There are freeze dried ice cream bites, salt water taffy bites, even freeze dried skittles! Seriously! Isn't your mouthwatering already?!? Heard there was a mango flavor which paired with their sauce giving the reminiscence of shoyu pickled mango but that one was already sold out by the time we got there.
The next planned popup is not until April and will be announced on their website. Other popups maybe added before that and will also be posted on website at: www.onolicioussnackco.com
Don't want to wait for a popup? One can always order direct on website. And let me tell you, I will definitely be going there for a repeat of some of their freeze dried salt water taffy (today bought flavors: lilikoi, lychee and strawberry, passion fruit orange guava, watermelon, neopolitan) and my favorite, the sour skittles!
Thank you John, thank you Bernie for bringing us these amazing treats. As you explained, each batch taking AT LEAST 24 hours to make. What a labor of love. Good luck and best wishes in this new business! I am going to selfishly tell everyone I know about you guys as I would like to enjoy these treasures for a long long time! read more
