How to keep the rest
To maintain its crispness, store any leftover kettle corn in its original packaging, ensuring the bag is sealed tightly. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Avoid refrigerating, as this can affect its texture. Proper storage will help preserve the flavor and crunch for future enjoyment.
