How do you store candy-coated pretzel rods?
Storing candy-coated pretzel rods properly is essential for preserving their flavor and texture. An adequate method is to place the rods in an airtight container that minimizes exposure to external elements such as heat, moisture, and light.
It is also essential to store them in a dark environment that is not too cold or too hot, as fluctuating temperatures can affect the coating.
Additionally, it may be beneficial to separately wrap each pretzel rod with wax paper or parchment paper to preserve its freshness further.
With these simple tips, you can rest assured you will have delicious candy-coated pretzel rods every time!
