There's something undeniably charming about old fashioned sweets. Their nostalgic flavours transport us back to simpler times, but keeping these delightful treats fresh can sometimes be challenging. If you've ever found a forgotten jar of sweets, only to find them less than perfect, this guide is for you.
Keeping Old Fashioned Sweets Fresh
The Importance of Proper Storage
One of the best ways to keep your sweets fresh is by storing them in an airtight container. This prevents exposure to air, which can make sweets stale and affect their texture and taste. For instance, our Fruit Balls (Skittles) Original - Freeze Dried Sweets are particularly sensitive and benefit greatly from being kept in a sealed environment to preserve their vibrant flavour.
Control the Temperature
Sweets do best at room temperature. Too much heat can cause them to melt or change consistency, while too much cold can make them hard and less enjoyable. It's best to keep them away from direct sunlight or any source of heat. If you'd like a refreshing accompaniment, you could always sip on a Barr Perfect Lemonade 330ml from our BARR DRINKS collection.
Avoid Moisture
Excess moisture is the enemy of sweets. Ensure that your storage containers are dry before use. This is particularly crucial for sweets like Dragon Jelly which require a dry environment to keep their delightful chew.
Exploring Alternatives
For sweet lovers who like to explore different textures, freeze-dried candies offer a longer shelf life and an exciting twist on traditional sweets. Our OLD FASHIONED SWEETS by Weight offer a variety of favourites that can keep your sweet tooth satisfied while ensuring freshness. Or, you might consider a unique option like the Skull Pops Push n Twist, which combines fun and flavour.
