Hard candy’s goal in life is to slurp water out of the atmosphere. If you’ve bought lollipops from us, then you may have noticed what we call our “care and feeding” statement on the back label:
Heat and humidity are the enemies of hard candy!
For maximum freshness, store your lollipops in this zip-top bag.
The main storage issues for hard candy are heat and humidity. You know how if you store cough drops in the bathroom, they start to get a little sticky and wrinkled from the wrappers, but they still taste fine? They're probably just picking up moisture from shower steam, etc.
As long as the lollipops are not stored in direct sunlight, sitting on top of a space heater, or stored in a refrigerator (which is a humid environment), etc., they'll do ok. In our experience, lollipops can be stored at room temperature in airtight containers for a few months. We ship them to you in a zip-top bag to help with that.
