How to keep the rest
To maintain their freshness and soft texture, store any remaining mello cremes in a cool, dry place. Keep them in their original wrappers or an airtight container to prevent them from drying out or absorbing moisture. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or heat, which can cause them to melt or become sticky.
