So, what makes candy canes so durable? It's all about the ingredients and storage conditions. With a mix of sugar, corn syrup, and peppermint extract, these treats are designed to withstand the test of time – as long as you keep them away from direct sunlight, moisture, and hungry snackers.
But, here's a quirky fact: candy canes can actually absorb moisture from the air, which can cause them to become sticky or even develop mold. Who knew these festive favorites could be so high maintenance?
Now, you might be wondering, what happens when candy canes do eventually expire? Well, they won't necessarily become toxic or anything, but they might lose their flavor and texture. It's like they'll go from being a fun, festive friend to a stale, sad stranger.
