How to keep the rest
To keep the rest of the gummy bears fresh and chewy, store them in a cool, dry place. Ensure the bag or container is tightly sealed to prevent them from drying out or becoming sticky. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or excessive heat, which can alter their texture and flavor. Proper storage will maintain their enjoyable chewiness for future enjoyment.
