Storing candies and chocolate,Tips to Store your Candies and Chocolate the Right Way Articles what’s the need? You are just going to eat them right away! We entirely agree with you. However, sometimes you need to store your favorite candies and chocolate to keep it fresh for long. If you have just bought some gluten free candies and delicious chocolate, be it from an online store or from a grocery shop, you will find these following tips useful:

• Don’t Refrigerate – Keep you sweet treats in cool, dry place in airtight containers. Refrigeration of chocolate and candies are recommended only in hot, humid environment. The ideal temperature for storing them is between 60° and 70° Fahrenheit. When you keep chocolates and candies in fridge, they absorb odors of other foods kept inside. So instead of the fridge, store them in a cool place, at a moderate room temperature. However, if the temperature in your home is routinely above 70° Fahrenheit, refrigerate your boxed chocolates or candies. But wrap them tightly to protect against odors, and then seal them in an airtight container.

• Store candies in glass jars and wrap chocolates tightly – Improperly stored chocolates develop bloom, which shows as a white spotting on the surface. So, keep your boxed chocolates in a tightly sealed bag, no matter where you are storing them. Glass jars are perfect for storing candies. Storing this way will help you to maintain maximum taste and freshness of your favorite sweet delights.

• Keep them away from light – Not just sunlight, but also artificial light. Chocolates and candies develop bad-flavor when exposed to direct sunlight and artificial light.

• Do check their “Best By” Date – The “Best By” dates on commercially packaged sweet delights represent for how long the product will retain its peak quality. Store your sweet confectionaries properly so that they don’t lose their quality, flavor and color before their “Best Use” date.

• Invest in an expensive option: wine cooler – Though it is a more expensive option, but a wine cooler helps you to better store your sweet treats. You get a temperature adjustment feature with a wine cooler, so you can set the correct storage temperature for chocolates and candies and store them in it for long. Another interesting fact about wine cooler is that you can store wine and confectionaries together, without any worry.

Premium gourmet, handmade chocolates and gluten free candies purchased from online specialty candy stores will usually remain at peak quality for long if stored in a proper way. These chocolate and candies storing tips will prove beneficial when you purchase them in bulk. Properly stored, chocolates and gluten free candies will stay tasty and fresh for months.
