Bebeto is set to launch a range of freeze-dried sweets in November off the back of the viral TikTok trend.

The new range makes Bebeto the first mainstream UK confectionery brand to produce its own freeze-dried sweets, having purchased its own factory to do so.

It will be available in Peach Rings, Watermelon and Marshmallow Twist varieties, each with a £2 RRP from Spar and Parfetts.

Phil Hulme, commercial director at Kervan Gida, said: “The trend started on social media, but we’ve elevated it by taking full control of the freeze-drying process. Our new range is all about delivering a high-quality, unique confectionery experience that UK consumers can now enjoy straight off the shelves.”
