    I made some candies, still learning, only made a few batchs. I had in trunk of my car and they melted together a bit and got all gooey. Can I bring them back up to candy stage again and reform them? Is that unhealthy to recook with the butter? And what can I do to prevent this again (besides not putting in a warm trunk lol)...I heard tossing ing powdered sugar..???   And how long can I store room temp butter before it will go bad?

    I'd be afraid heating it up again to the hard crack point would destroy the medicine. Best now to just bust it up into bite size pieces.
     
    When I make hard candy I use a small spoon to make the molds in a pan of powdered sugar, pour into the molds and sprinkle powdered sugar over them. Then when they are cool, I scoop them into a zip-lok baggie and shake them up in powdered sugar.  I like powdered sugar better, but corn starch works just as well with sort of a neutral flavor.
    I don't know how long they keep. I've had them 3-4 months and still worked good.
    I also keep a sandwich bag half full of plain unmedicated peppermint flavored candies in the compartment of my car for breath mints. Sometimes when they do stick together they snap apart easily. I believe powdered sugar applied while still just a bit tacky when cooling is what helps.
