How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store any remaining candy in its original packaging or an airtight container. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. This will prevent the candies from becoming sticky or losing their flavor. Proper storage ensures the best taste and texture for future enjoyment.
