- Storage: Store in an air tight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for one week. If the sugary coating begins to soften or look a little wet, simply toss them in more sugar.
- Leftover Syrup: If you have leftover simple syrup (sugar and water), you can place it in an airtight container in the refrigerator and use it for cocktails or hot or cold coffee during the holiday season!
