Questions about Sweet candy
How should you store sweets so they don’t go sticky?
Keep them in an airtight container in a cool, dry cupboard, away from sunlight and steam. Store chewy sweets separately from hard sweets so their textures don’t affect one another.
Why do sweets turn sticky in the packet?
Sugar attracts moisture from humid air, making the surface tacky. Seal the packet or transfer the sweets to an airtight container as soon as you open it.
Can you melt hard sweets for baking or decorating?
Yes: crush them, place the pieces on baking parchment and heat at about 150°C until just melted, usually for 5–10 minutes. Watch closely, as the sugar can burn quickly; leave the melted shapes to cool fully before lifting them.
