GUIDELINES FOR FREEZING CANDIES

TKL Holiday Cooking Club Message Board
In response to the question about freezing recipes ahead I have included
some guidelines below:
* 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 temperature
* Nut brittle should be stored about 1 week at room temperature
*Be careful when freezing - I make all of my candy that freezes well first
and save things like caramels until 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.
