Candies can not be exposed to sunlight for a long time. Long-term exposure to sunlight will cause the temperature of the candy to rise sharply, causing it to melt. And candy can not be placed near the heater, small sun, and air conditioning mouth because the temperature of these locations is relatively high and easy to melt.

In addition, before you are ready to eat candies, you must first smell the candies to see if they are sour. If so, do not eat them because such candies have deteriorated.

The shelf life is relatively longer for the purchased fudge, but also pay attention to the preservation method and eat up within the shelf life. For the homemade gummy, eat up as soon as possible. The taste will change over time and also easy to spoil.
