To store keto candied pecans, place them in an airtight container to keep them fresh and crispy. Store the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. For optimal freshness, consume them within two weeks. If you want to keep them longer, refrigerate or freeze them. When refrigerating, use a tightly sealed container to prevent them from absorbing moisture. If freezing, place them in a freezer-safe bag or container, and let them thaw at room temperature before enjoying. Proper storage ensures they retain their crunch and flavor.
