How to keep the rest
To keep the rest of your Peanut Butter M&M's fresh and delicious, store them in a cool, dry place. Ensure the bag is sealed tightly to prevent air and moisture from affecting the candy. Avoid storing them in direct sunlight or near heat sources, as this can cause the chocolate to melt and the candy shell to lose its crispness.
