How to keep the rest
To keep the candies fresh, store the unopened tube in a cool, dry place. Once opened, ensure the cap is securely closed to prevent moisture from affecting the candy shell. Avoid storing them in direct sunlight or near heat sources, as this can cause the chocolate to melt and the candy shell to soften.
