How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store any remaining Reese's Peanut Butter Bunnies in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the wrappers are sealed to prevent the chocolate from melting or the peanut butter from drying out. They can be kept at room temperature, but avoid storing them in excessively warm environments.
