Reports have suggested that we may face a Halloween candy shortage.
Increased demand for candy during the COVID-19 Pandemic hasn't helped the product shortage. The Russian invasion of Ukraine has made it harder to find ingredients and make candy this year, according to Hershey's.
If you bought Halloween candy early this year, here are the best ways to keep it safe.
Most of the Halloween candy is individually wrapped so it's easier to store. It should not degrade in quality between now and Halloween because it is shelf-stable.
The temperature and sunlight are the most important variables. If your home is air conditioned or the weather has cooled down, you should keep your Halloween candy out of the sun. It's a good idea to put the candy in containers that are sealed before you store it.
If there is room in the fridge, you may want to store the candy there. It's a good idea to put any candy in the freezer. According to the National Confectioners Association, if you want to eat fruit or nuts, don't freeze them.
Milk and white chocolate can last between eight and 10 months, while dark chocolate can last up to two years. Hard candy can make it up to a year and can be opened.
