How to keep the rest
To maintain their crispness, store any remaining chips in their original bag, tightly sealed. Ensure the bag is closed securely to prevent air from entering, which can lead to staleness. Keep the chips in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong odors. Proper storage will help preserve their texture and flavor for future enjoyment.
