How do you extend the shelf life of your homemade candies?

To extend the shelf life of homemade candies, store them in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture absorption and crystallization. Adding preservatives like corn syrup can also help retain freshness. For certain candies, refrigeration or freezing can extend shelf life significantly, but be sure to use appropriate packaging to prevent freezer burn. Additionally, using ingredients with natural preservatives, such as honey or citrus juice, can enhance longevity.
