How to keep the rest
To maintain their crispness, store any remaining puffs in an airtight container or resealable bag at room temperature. Avoid exposing them to moisture or extreme heat, which can cause them to lose their texture and become stale. Proper storage ensures they remain enjoyable for your next snacking occasion.
