How to keep the rest
To maintain its quality, store any remaining candy in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the wrapper is sealed to prevent the chocolate from drying out or absorbing unwanted odors. It is best kept at room temperature and not refrigerated, as this can affect the texture of the chocolate.
