How to keep the rest
To keep the rest of your Starburst fresh, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the wrappers remain sealed to prevent the candies from drying out or becoming sticky. If they do become slightly firm, a short period at room temperature can often restore their chewiness.
