How to keep the rest
To maintain their freshness and chewy texture, store unopened Fruit Roll-Ups in a cool, dry place. Once opened, keep any remaining portions tightly sealed in their original wrapper or an airtight container. This will prevent them from drying out or becoming stale, ensuring they remain enjoyable for future snacking.
