For many of us, it’s our favorite time of the year… Halloween weekend! Or that time when all the candy goes on sale and you can eat your feelings without the added stress of spending $50 on two jumbo boxes of mini chocolate bars.
You don’t have to eat that all in one sitting though, since it turns out Halloween Candy actually takes quite a long time until it goes bad!
- White/ Milk Chocolate – 8 to 10 months if stored in a cool, dark, and dry place.
- Dark Chocolate – lasts as long as 2 years if stored in the right environment.
- Hard candy – like lollipops/butterscotch candies last about a year in their package. As hard candy gets stale, it will become sticky, and the texture will feel grainy.
- Caramel – About six to nine months if packaged properly. After that, it will get stale and hard.
- Candy corn – About nine months before it hardens from staleness.
- Jellied candies – They last about a year unopened.
- Gum – Six to nine months.
