After you have added your candy and decorations, carefully seal each container to keep your candy snow globe intact. Make sure the seal is secure to prevent any leaks.

Step 5: Personalize and Enjoy!

Once your candy snow globes are sealed, feel free to personalize them with ribbons, labels, or any other decorative touches. These make wonderful gifts or festive table decorations. When you’re ready to enjoy your creation, simply open the container and savor the sweet and whimsical world inside!

Can I store the candy snow globes for later use?
