Storing
My grandmother would shape her caramel into balls, and she would simply keep them in a tin box lined with parchment paper.
I do almost the same, just that I cut them into squares to save time.
You can also cut some parchment paper squares or waxed paper and wrap the caramel candies into the paper by twisting the ends.
Another idea is to get candy wrappers, but those tend to be made of plastic and that’s not very environment-friendly.
The caramel candy can last for up to 2 months in a cool and dry environment, away from direct sunlight.
In a tropical climate, I recommend keeping your old-fashioned caramels in an airtight container, and you should consume them within weeks.
If you want to extend the shelf life, you can do so by keeping your caramel in the fridge.
