How to keep the rest
Store any remaining chocolate bunny in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure it is tightly wrapped in its original foil or transferred to an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent the chocolate from absorbing odors. Avoid storing in the refrigerator, as this can cause the chocolate to bloom and affect its texture.
