Storage Tips

First, let them cool completely.
Warm treats can get soggy in storage.
Wrap each treat in plastic wrap to keep them from sticking together.
Use an airtight container for best results.
You can store these treats at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Just keep them away from direct sunlight or heat.
If you want them to last longer, pop them in the fridge.
They’ll stay fresh for about a week there.
Need them for a party later?
No problem! 😊
Freeze them for up to a month.
When you’re ready to eat, just let them thaw at room temperature.
They’ll taste just as good!
Remember, fresher is better, so try to enjoy them soon.
Keep those treats ready for snack time! 🍬
