What it is
These are small, bite-sized confections designed for a quick sweet treat. They typically have a smooth, melt-in-your-mouth texture, often achieved through a combination of fats and sugars that create a delicate structure. The flavor profile is usually sweet, sometimes with hints of vanilla or other complementary notes, making them a popular choice for satisfying a craving for something sweet without being overly rich or heavy.

How to keep the rest
To maintain their delicate texture and flavor, store any remaining confections in a cool, dry place. Ensure the package is sealed tightly to prevent exposure to air, which can cause them to become stale or lose their melt-in-your-mouth quality. Avoid storing them in direct sunlight or near heat sources.
