How it differs from similar foods

The coating also offers a different mouthfeel compared to simply salted or unsalted varieties, making them a more confectionary-like snack.

How to keep the rest

Keep them away from direct sunlight and moisture, as these can cause the shell to soften and the nuts to become stale. Proper storage ensures they remain a delicious and satisfying snack for future enjoyment.
