How do I keep puppy chow fresh?

Keeping muddy buddies fresh and delicious is as easy as storing them properly! One of the best ways to keep muddy buddies from going stale is to store them in an airtight container.

This helps to keep moisture out and preserves their crunchy texture. For a longer-term storage solution, you can freeze your muddy buddies for up to three months without sacrificing quality.

Ensure the container or bag is securely sealed so no moisture seeps in and destroys their flavor! Of course, nothing beats munching on a freshly made batch; but if you’re looking for a storage solution that’s sure to preserve their crunchiness, these simple tips will help keep your muddy buddies yummy long after they’ve been made!
