Meet Blaine & the magic of crunch

Welcome to Blaine’s Crunch Lab!
Freeze-dried candy made with curiosity, creativity, and a little candy science — all by a young entrepreneur with a big love for crunch.

The crunch lab story

Blaine’s Crunch Lab started with a simple idea, a big imagination, and a serious love for candy. The inspiration came during a family trip to the mountains of Tennessee, where Blaine visited a small local shop and realized that unique treats and small businesses could make people really happy. That moment sparked a question: what if he could create something fun, creative, and completely his own?

Blaine was instantly fascinated by freeze-dried candy — how classic favorites could be transformed into light, crunchy treats with bold flavor and a totally new texture. To him, it felt like candy mixed with science, and that’s when Blaine’s Crunch Lab was born.

What excites Blaine most is experimenting with different candies, building custom crunch buckets, and seeing people smile when they try his creations for the first time. Every product is made with care, curiosity, and a whole lot of enthusiasm — with family support behind the scenes to help ensure everything is done safely and responsibly.

Blaine’s Crunch Lab is proud to be a kid-run, family-supported business, creating freeze-dried candy in small batches in a licensed and inspected kitchen. What started as a fun idea has grown into a passion for learning, creativity, and sharing something joyful with the community — one crunchy bite at a time.
