How To Store Candy Salad

Since this is just candy, it will last a very long time. But it’s important to store it in an airtight container (squeeze out any excess air if storing it in a bag); this way, the gummy candies don’t dry out. You’ll also want to keep it cool and not leave it out in the sun for too long, as the gummies can get sticky.
