How to keep the rest
To keep the rest fresh, store the unopened bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, ensure the bag is resealed tightly to maintain freshness and prevent the chocolate from absorbing odors. Avoid storing them in the refrigerator, as this can cause the chocolate to bloom.
