How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store any remaining Blossom-top candies in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep them in their original packaging or an airtight container to prevent them from drying out or absorbing unwanted odors. Proper storage ensures the chocolate remains smooth and the peanut butter filling retains its intended texture.
