Do candy canes go bad?

| I have 2 boxes of candy canes from last season - maybe 2 seasons? - and wanted to crush and use them on deserts. Do they go bad? Will I poison people using 2 year old candy canes? |

| THey might taste stale or kind of rancid in which case don't use them, of course. But if they smell and taste ok, they are. |

| In my experience, they don't taste bad or go stale -- they just get chewy. I've put boxes away for the next year specifically for this reason; I had no idea until I saw a thread on DCUM that they actually make 'soft candy canes.' |

| They don't go bad in the sense that they could poison you but they can get that old/stale candy taste and/or get soft and wet. Taste a piece before using it as a dessert topping. |
