How to keep the rest
To maintain their freshness and prevent the chocolate from melting, store these pretzel balls in a cool, dry place. Keep them in their original packaging or an airtight container. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or high temperatures. If the ambient temperature is warm, refrigeration can help preserve their texture and prevent the chocolate from softening excessively.
