What types of candy have gelatin?

Candies with a gummy texture or a chewy feel are often made with gelatin. Normally, hard candies are gelatin-free, as are licorice twists, and some sour candies.

Where should I store candy?

Most types of candy are best stored in a cool, dry place. They can last this way, fully packaged, for six months to a year. It’s important to keep candy out of humid environments, especially if their outer packaging has been opened, as moisture will seep through paper and wax wrappings and ruin the texture of the treats.

Is sugar-free candy healthier than regular candy?

Sugar-free candies are normally made with alternative sweeteners like maltitol or aspartame. These have no calories, as opposed to sugar, which is high in calories. Neither sugar-free nor regular candy is a nutritious part of your diet. However, if you are on a restricted-calorie diet, zero-sugar candy can make for a guilt-free treat.
