How to keep the rest
To keep the marshmallow fresh and the coating intact, store any remaining lollipops in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are tightly wrapped or in an airtight container to prevent them from drying out or absorbing odors. Avoid storing them in humid environments, as this can affect the marshmallow's texture.
