How to keep the rest
To maintain their chewy texture and prevent them from drying out, store any remaining gummy rings in an airtight container or resealable bag. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat sources. This will help preserve their freshness and prevent them from becoming hard or sticky.
