The most common way to enjoy this confection is to unwrap it and eat it directly. You can break off individual squares for portion control or to share.

How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining chocolate fresh, store it in its original packaging or an airtight container. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat to prevent melting and maintain its texture. Avoid refrigeration, as this can cause the chocolate to bloom and affect its texture.
