Would putting a top coat of clear nail polish stop sweets/candy from going off?

Like sticking the sweets down with glue and then putting a clear top coat on top.

Answer #1

Yes.

Answer #2

It does depend on the candy, I have heard that nail polish works for hard candies and boiled candies etc but I’m not sure if it would work for some soft candy. Candy has a very long shelf life though so even if it didn’t work it would probably stay looking fine for years. That’s if the ants don’t find it!

Answer #3

Thank you, I don’t think I am going to try with soft candy. More like jelly beans. :D
