I received several boxes of candy for Christmas. Can I freeze them?

Yes!!!!

Good for you that you have not done what I might have done:  eat them all!

But yes, you can freeze candy.

So much less hassle, tho!  😆

Yup!    Makes you think twice about breaking a tooth on a frozen caramel!

Often when chocolate goes from one temperature to another it acquires a gray haze called "bloom".   It is completely safe to eat and has no effect on the quality of the candy; it's purely cosmetic so don't be alarmed if it occurs.   Eat and enjoy

Yes you can @hovis, although it keeps very well in a cool dry place, like Roughneck containers. Eventually (a few years) the fats in the chocolate will start to separate. It will look like areas of lighter brown among the chocolate brown. Still tastes great.

I buy fun size Snickers, 3Musketeers, Twix, Butterfinger etc and keep them in the freezer just to make it impossible to eat them too fast. But I've stored large amounts in a  Roughneck container and kept it in the cool dark closet for about a year.

I freeze everything! The key is to wrap it up good and just throw it in your freezer.

Store bought, homemade I have been doing it for years.  I like to keep my Tootsies Rolls in the freezer and let melt in my mouth during warm months.  I freeze everything sweets to mashed potato's.
