well you can buy them frozen so guess so, like other things though, they will lose their crispness after they thaw, but as long as they are being cooked, there shouldn't be a problem.

I've been freezing mine, into boiling water for approx 1 min, then drain and into ice cold water, pat dry and freeze.

Seems to be ok so far.

They never get the chance in our house, get eaten too quick!
