How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining candies fresh, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the wrappers are sealed to prevent them from drying out or absorbing odors. They can be kept at room temperature, but avoid excessively warm environments where the chocolate might melt.
