I opened a package of Christmas candy over the weekend. And this is what I found inside. All of the pieces stuck together in a large clump.
I pried a single piece off, to see if it was good enough to salvage. And guess what? It tasted fine. It was a little soft, but flavor was fine.
So I got out a table knife and separated the pieces.
In the end, I had a nice bowl of hard candy, plus a bunch of "bits". Those bits were saved, and have been added to cocoa and coffee this week. Kinda good, if I do say so.
So my answer is, yes, 2-year old Christmas candy is still edible. But the texture has softened. In the future, if I buy up clearance Christmas candy again, I'll store it in jars, with those small packets of desiccant, and see if the candy pieces retain their original texture.
How about you? Would you consider eating 2-year old Christmas candy?
