How to keep the rest
To keep the rest of these chocolate eggs fresh, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they remain in their original wrappers to prevent them from drying out or absorbing other odors. Avoid storing them in the refrigerator, as this can cause the chocolate to bloom and affect its texture.
