With a knife or pastry cutter, slice into candy-sized pieces. You can eat the candy right away or wrap each piece individually in cling film (see blog post above for quick ways to wrap candy) for gifting. Candy can sit at room temperature, but I recommend keeping in the fridge to keep the candy from getting too soft.
