What is the shelf life for candy with fresh butter?
I am making a chocolate covered candy with a center that includes fresh butter, sugar and cookie crumbs. There are no eggs in the recipe. It is not cooked. What is the shelf life before it needs to be refrigerated?

I agree with Jay. If you live in a hot city (with temperatures above 30°C), I wouldn´t keep it out of the fridge more than a couple hours. Otherwise they should last at least five hours at room temperature.

What is the shelf life of homemade candy?
After you've gone to the trouble of making candy from scratch, be sure to store it properly so it stays fresh longer. Stored in an airtight container in a cool dry place, most homemade candy will keep for about 2 to 3 weeks. Fudge and caramels can be wrapped tightly and frozen for up to 1 year.How long do homemade toffees last?
