By Madeleine Davies. I want to know for the majority of chocolate-based candies, rock-sugar candy jolly ranchers, etc whether or not they expire. Hard candy I think called boiled candy in England , such as lollipops or star mints is essentially pure sugar, with some color and flavor added. This type of candy will last essentially forever, if kept absolutely dry.
There may be some degradation to the color or flavorings after six months or so, but the candy itself will last indefinitely. If moisture can get to it--even summer humidity--it can soften, become sticky, clump together, and otherwise become unappetizing. Chocolate has a fairly long shelf life, especially dark chocolate.
Under proper conditions, it can last for several years. The mix ins or other components of a confection may limit its shelf life:. One manufacturer suggests a shelf life of 6 months for its candy bars, which is probably a reasonable estimate for good quality.
Hard candy if kept dry and within a reasonable amount of years should stay good. I'm not saying that you should re-give old candy as in butterfingers or hershy chocolate. It might get crumby and taste foul so before you give it to kids and their parents say you poisoned it and you get arrested for drugging the candy i'd buy new non gone bad candy.

Gum also lasts a long time. It can maintain its flavor for up to 18 months if stored in the pantry and depending on the brand. Buying gum in bulk is a great way to save. Many bulk gums or refills come with nifty Ziplock-style closures on their bags, making storage easy. Be sure to store different flavors of gum in separate containers. It becomes hard and crumbly, making it difficult to chew.
