Can You Freeze Rocky Road Candy?

Rocky road candy will keep easily, wrap it snug, use it oldest first. Check it by smell, thawed, it keeps its marshmallow-chocolate-nut jumble with the chocolate staying snappy, rocky road candy keeps about 3 months. Sugar and cocoa barely change in the freezer — the real risks are condensation (which causes sugar bloom) and odors, both solved by wrapping and slow thawing. After thawing, think holiday trays, gift boxes, or bake sales rather than serving plain. Cut the slab while still fridge-cold; warm knives drag marshmallow into long strings and smudge the chocolate face.
