Organic candy is made without all of the harmful chemicals and pesticides that non-organic candy contains.

GMO foods have been linked to a number of health problems, including gut disorders and infertility. 

There are a couple reasons why organic candy tastes better than non-organic candy. First, organic candy is made without the use of artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners. Second, organic candy is made with natural ingredients that are grown without the use of pesticides or other chemicals. Using the natural ingredients allows for tasting the true flavoring.

It's best to store organic candy in a cool, dry place. For example, you can store it in your pantry or in a cabinet. Just make sure that it's not exposed to heat or moisture, which could cause the candy to spoil.
