Candy Packaging Tips
Candy is a great gift idea, especially around the holidays. Keep in mind these tips when packaging and storing homemade candy:
- Store hard and soft candies in separate airtight containers to avoid changes in texture.
- Place waxed paper between layers of candy.
- Put individual pieces of candy in miniature cupcake liners for a professional look.
- To give chocolate-dipped candy a variety of looks, roll or coat candy with baking cocoa, flaked coconut, nonpareils or other sprinkles, confectioners' sugar, ground nuts or graham cracker crumbs.
- Try packing the sweets in different kinds of containers such as miniature boxes, cookie tins, woven baskets and decorative jars.
- Decorate packages with handmade name tags, raffia bows, seasonal ribbon, cellophane wrapping or miniature ornaments.
