How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining candies fresh, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the packaging is sealed tightly to prevent them from drying out or absorbing other odors. They can also be stored in the refrigerator if you prefer a firmer texture, but allow them to come to room temperature before eating for optimal flavor.
