00:00Hello, I'm with Lenka and husband Alan. They're just about to open a new sweet shop in Bloodpool, Crunchy Candy.

00:07But the sweets are a little bit different. What's going on Lenka? How are the sweets different?

00:12So basically they are freeze-dried candy.

00:15Okay, and what's freeze-dried candy?

00:17Freeze-dried candy is a process of any chewy sweet that turns into a crunchy sweet.

00:23So with people who like crunchy stuff, they will be in their paradise.

00:30It helps people who have a braces, for instance, or an older generation that can't chew.

00:37It's nice and it will explode in your mouth.

00:40So it's a mind-blowing process that is very, very popular in America.

00:45And we've been established over a year now.

00:49But we are opening the shop now, so you should try it.

00:55Now these sweets, I understand, they're not chewy sweets, are they?

00:58So they're not going to destroy your teeth or catch in your mouth or whatever.

01:04Or ruin your braces or your fillings. That's true, isn't it?

01:07It's sort of like a melt-in-your-mouth type of thing?

01:09Yeah, so for instance, we've got the soft caramel.

01:12As you can see, soft caramel is right here.

01:17And this caramel is Werder's original.

01:22And they are freeze-dried, so when you put it in your mouth, it just explodes.

01:26But leave all the flavour inside it.

01:30Okay, yeah. Fair enough.

01:33And you've got all sorts of different flavours here.

01:35So we've got, yes, we've got from original sweets, those Mega Baskets, Jolly Ranchers, all sorts of things here.

01:42I'm alright thinking you make your own sweets as well, don't you?

01:45We do. We do manufacture them and we supply other shops.

01:50Is it difficult to make them? How do you do that process of the freeze-drying?

01:54Yes, some sweets can take a very long time, a very, very long time to freeze-dry.

01:59Especially the chewy ones, which are usually gummy, but now they are nice and crunchy.

02:06I see. Okay then.

02:09And you're going to be opening the shop on Saturday?

02:12Yes, we will open the shop on the 27th of April at 9.30.

02:16And where is the shop based, please?

02:18The shop is based in Blackpool in 56 Tilsey Road.

02:22Excellent. Okay. Marvellous. Best of luck with that. Thank you very much.
