Store candy in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent melting or degradation. For chocolates and other temperature-sensitive candies, refrigeration may be necessary, but ensure they are sealed tightly to avoid absorbing odors. Avoid freezing candy, as it can alter texture and flavor. For long-term storage, use airtight containers to maintain freshness and prevent exposure to humidity.
