Now here's an odd question!
I needed an undetermined amount of candy canes to crush for use in a Christmas cookie recipe (the recipe called for peppermint candies but I figured that the canes would be easier to crush). I bought a container at Sam's, where practically everything is industrial-sized. I bought 600 mini candy canes, and used less than a quarter of them! So, after using some to decorate gifts, and tucking a bunch into cookie trays, I still have about 350 remaining.
I don't want to throw them away, so could I freeze them until next year? Or will they just get sticky as they thaw? And if so, would I freeze "as is" (in cellophane wrappers) or should I crush them first?
See, I told you that this was an odd question!
