How it differs from similar foods

How to keep the rest
To maintain their quality, store any remaining chocolate-covered cherries in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. An airtight container is recommended to preserve freshness and prevent the chocolate from blooming or absorbing odors. Avoid refrigeration, as this can cause the chocolate to become dull and chalky.
