How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store any remaining peanuts in their original packaging or an airtight container. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. This will help preserve their crunchy texture and prevent the caramel coating from becoming sticky or clumpy.
