Storing candy:
- Keep candy in a cool, dry place – moisture and heat will cause candy to stick to each other.
- Keep the pieces separated by a layer or wax or parchment paper to keep them from sticking.
- Use an airtight container when possible to prevent candy from going stale.
- Box up gifts at the last minute as most boxes are not airtight.
- Fun gift idea – if you make the recipes add a note with links to the recipe so the gift receiver can make the candy again.
