How to keep the rest
To keep the rest of these candies fresh and chewy, store them in their original packaging or an airtight container at room temperature. Avoid exposing them to direct sunlight or excessive heat, as this can cause them to become sticky or melt. Ensure the container is sealed tightly to prevent them from drying out.
