How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store any remaining chocolate covered raisins in their original packaging or an airtight container. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat to prevent the chocolate from melting or becoming discolored. Avoid refrigeration, as this can sometimes cause the chocolate to bloom.
