Wrapped Halloween candies sorted in storage containers

Keep strongly flavored mints separate from chocolate and delicate candies to avoid odor transfer.

Avoid heat

High temperatures can soften chocolate and make sticky sweets fuse together.

Protect from moisture

Use closed containers in a dry cupboard; condensation can damage texture and wrappers.

Check labels

Different candy types have different shelf lives. The manufacturer’s storage guidance is more reliable than one universal number.

When to throw it out

Discard candy with damaged or opened wrappers, mold, signs of pests or an unusual smell.
