How it differs from similar foods

How to keep the rest
To store any remaining portion, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container. Keep it at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat, to prevent the caramel from melting or the chocolate from softening. Avoid refrigeration, as it can make the caramel hard.
