Enjoy them straight from the bag for a quick sweet fix. They can be stirred into cookie dough before baking, adding pockets of melted chocolate and colorful candy pieces throughout. Sprinkle them on top of ice cream sundaes or cupcakes for a festive and flavorful garnish. For a different application, they can be gently melted to create a smooth, sweet chocolate drizzle or sauce, perfect for drizzling over cakes or fruits.

How to keep the rest
To maintain their freshness and prevent the candy shell from softening, store the remaining candies in a cool, dry place. Ensure the bag or container is sealed tightly to keep out moisture and air. Avoid storing them in direct sunlight or near heat sources.
