How to Store Early-Bought Halloween Candy


Furthermore, the reason why you would want to stock up on it right now
As Halloween approaches, you may have heard rumours that there may be a Halloween candy shortage this year.

This one, like others, is impacted by supply chain issues, and increased demand for candy during the COVID-19 outbreak hasn't helped. Not only that, but the Russian invasion of Ukraine has made it much more difficult to procure ingredients and create candy this year, according to Hershey's.

If you went out and bought your Halloween candy early this year after reading about the potential scarcity, here are the best methods to keep it so it arrives in good condition on Halloween.

How to Keep Halloween Candy Safe

Because most Halloween candy sent to trick-or-treaters is individually wrapped, it is easier to store. Furthermore, it is shelf-stable and should not decline in quality between now and Halloween, assuming the conditions are favorable.

The most important parameters are temperature and sunlight. Even if your home is air conditioned or the weather in your area has cooled, keep your Halloween candy out of direct sunlight in a pantry, basement, cabinet, or drawer. Place the candy in airtight containers before storing it for added security.

If the temperature in your home consistently rises beyond 85 degrees Fahrenheit, you might want to try putting the sweets in your refrigerator (if there's space). However, use caution when freezing any confectionery. While certain sweets can be frozen, the National Confectioners Association advises against freezing anything containing fruit or nuts.

Milk and white chocolate can be stored correctly for eight to ten months, but dark chocolate can be stored for up to two years if wrapped in foil. Caramels normally survive six to nine months, but hard candy and unopened packages of gummy candies can last up to a year.
