*Truffles can be frozen for up to 2 months.

*Fudge will keep 1 month in the refrigerator.

*Toffee can be frozen for up to 2 months

*Most caramels should be stored about 2 weeks at room temp.

*Nut brittles should be stored about 1 week at room temp.

*Be careful when freezing - I make all of my candy that freezes well first and save things like caramels till last. Be sure to use coating chocolate for candies that need to be dipped, otherwise freezing and storing can cause "bloom", which is when the cocoa butter comes to the surface and causes gray or white streaks and dots - it doesn't mean that the candy has spoiled but it doesn't look very nice.

*Chopsticks work great for dipping many kinds of candies.
