How it differs from similar foods

How to keep the rest
To keep the candy fresh and crunchy, store any unused portion in an airtight container. Keep the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This will help prevent the candy shells from becoming sticky or the peanuts from becoming stale.
