how long do these keep?
They only stayed in my house for a week. I’m not sure beyond that. You could reach out to Catherine and her team at Weelicious for a more definitive answer.
Should these be stored in the fridge?
I’ve kept mine in the freezer for nearly a month now in a zip lock bag and they’re still awesome
Awesome. That is so great to know. Thankyou so much for sharing. That will help others so much.
Melissa, sorry, I just saw your question: I keep them in the fridge.
