Have you ever seen a lollipop go mouldy? Or toffee? It doesn't get kept in the fridge. Butterscotch?

Items with a high sugar content, such as many jams and most candies are preserved by the sugar. The sugar itself is not what attracts the nasties. It's usually what's mixed with it, which is generally organic matter.
