How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store any remaining Reese's Peanut Butter Pumpkins in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Ensure the packaging is sealed tightly to prevent the candies from drying out or absorbing unwanted odors. They can be kept at room temperature, but avoid storing them in very warm environments where the chocolate may melt.
