After you’ve gone to the trouble of making candy from scratch, be sure to store it properly so it stays fresh longer.Stored in an airtight container in a cool dry place, most homemade candy will keep for about 2 to 3 weeks. Fudge and caramels can be wrapped tightly and frozen for up to 1 year.To prevent candies from exchanging flavors, always store different types of candy in separate containers, using waxed paper between layers. Also keep hard candy and soft candy in different containers; otherwise, the moisture from the soft candy will cause the hard candy to become sticky.
