How should I store Melissa Turkish Delight to keep it fresh?

Keep the cubes in their original box or transfer them to an airtight container stored in a cool, dry pantry away from direct heat and moisture. Avoid refrigeration, as the moisture inside a fridge can cause the dusted powder coating to dissolve and turn sticky.
