How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining buttermints fresh, ensure they are stored in their original wrappers. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing them in humid conditions, as this can cause them to stick together. Properly stored, they will maintain their flavor and texture for an extended period.
