How long will a candy charcuterie board last?
A colorful candy charcuterie board can be enjoyed for a few hours up uncovered for a party or get together.
If you are serving it outside, you may want to keep an eye on the temperature because certain candies can melt.
Candies can be store in individual airtight bags for up to weeks, but you’ll want to dissemble the board after your party to keep everything fresh.
