Answers:
Many have already mentioned the outside of the candy melting slightly in the heat!. This can happen with chocolate but not with hard candies!. Hard candies stick to the wrapper because the sugar eventually absorbs enough moisture from the surrounding air to dissolve the sugar slightly, making the surface a sticky syrupy goo!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Word, I think it has to do with it melting at some point in its jouney from the factory to your cupboard!.!.!. One time I was really desperate to eat this hundred grand bar that was in my car, (I know, ridiculous) so it was melty of course, so I put it in the freezer for a bit, and took it out!. It didn't stick to the wrapper, but boy it was nasty!. So I haven't come up with a good solution except when I buy candy bars I go for the freshest looking one with the latest expiration date!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It's the duration which has elapsed for the packed product, the exposure it has got from the environment or if the candy was first stored in a refrigerator and then taken out and kept aside, or if the package has a teeny weeny hole thru which the air can pass in will certainly make a great difference in preserving it's status!.

I've faced the problem a few times and it really ires me but then the shopkeeper wudn't let me open the wrapper and then lemme buy it, so i have to stick to it!.

I just try to open the pack, if the candy has stuck i try to losen it by licking the candy a bit whereby i can just make it easy top come off, at times when it's not possible to lick i just try keeping some good patience and open it nice and slow but my fingers indeed must be giving out curses not to be heard by any one lol!.

Your question indeed was good and quite a sensitive issue for candy eaters :DWww@FoodAQ@Com

I always refrigerate it before unwrapping, as that guarantees that the wrapper comes off without sticking!.

When the wrapper does get stuck, it is due to melting!. In that case, it is impossible to get it off easily without getting choco in your fingernails!.

Same condtitions, some melt, some don't!? No idea!. This is worth some looking into!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

When a candy wrapped in waxed paper gets warm, it melts and may stick to the paper!. Wax in paper can also melt and paper may stick to the candy!. If aluminium foil is used in place of waxed paper, candy may stick to aluminium foil, but foil will not stick to candy!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

When candy is wrapped its sometimes given a nice coating to keep the wrapper from sticking!. during shipping, sitting on the shelf in the store, in your house or laying around in your car the candy can get warmer and this outer coating melts a little causing the wrapper to stick!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

If I can't get the candy to come out, I either rip the wrapper or just throw the candy away!. If the candy's stuck to the wrapper, it must have been in too warm temperatures or something else!.!.!.

good eatings! =DWww@FoodAQ@Com

The candy gets hot and slightly melts!. Keep it cool and it can't stick!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
