How long can hard candies be stored?

(Redding, CA)

I have butterscotch candies, chocolate starlight mints candies, and Andes mints. I am not planning to give them out until May 2010. What is the best way to store these candies until I can give them out in May?


Right now I have the Andes mints in the freezer, is that a good place to store them for 5 months? Also, I have my butterscotch candies and chocolate starlight mints in a cool room.






Any good tips in how I can store these candies and still taste great until May 2010. Thank you everyone!
