How long do the cones stay fresh? Do you have to refrigerate them or put them in a plastic container if you're not using them right away?Thanks!

depending on the humidity of your region, they can stay fresh for a few hours to a few days. I found that placing them in plastic bags(gallon size) worked well to preserve them for over a week. I wouldn't suggest refrigerating them because it will add extra moisture, making them potentially soggy.

The cones are best used when first made. We have put extras in airtight plastic containers for a few days, and thats worked out well. Any longer than that , or in very high humidity , just put the cones ( even if they un roll , on a cookie sheet in a warm 250 degree oven for a few minutes & re roll them and they are great. they are so delicious and easy to make, we never buy cones anymore.

By the way, they will stay fresh and great tasting for up to three weeks or more this way. Sam

Hello, cones are cooled in a few minutes just to put it in an embace glass. It is very good.

They stay fresh for days. I keep them on the kitchen table for 3-4 days. I did not keep them longer because in 2-3 days my family eat them all. If I put cream inside them I have to put them in the refrigerate.

They stay fresh for a long time.. BUT you must put them in a cookie jar or a plastic bag with desiccant packs 1.2 oz each pack or more. I use 4 packs at the bottom of each gallon bag I use. The idea is to keep the moisture from making them soft again. Hope this helps.

Let them completely cool, then put them in a plastic bag or container. Ours have never lasted more than 3 days(eaten). Most of the recipes are written to make 6-8 cones.

Yes, unopened is absolutely the best way because they don't last super long otherwise (ask me how I know). I am almost 100% sure they do not have to be refrigerated while still unopened.

They last for quite a long time as long as you keep them sealed tight and in a dark place. I just seal mine back up in the bag they were shipped in and store them in my spice cabinet inside the bubble envelope they arrived in. they are delicious! I make vanilla sugar, vanilla extract, vanilla frosting, vanilla ice cream...etc

Yes I understand they should be stored refrigerated, except for the one you are using. That is what I do.

I keep them in a container in a cool dry place, not the fridge and with no discoloration. They only last as long as you can keep from eating them up.

I leave them in the bag they came in and leave them in the pantry. I use mine pretty quickly so don't have them for long. However, I would imagine since they are dried you can store same way for a longer period.

We have kept these tins for many months and they do not seem to get stale. There are 4 individually wrapped trays inside the tin. We store them at cool room temperature.

They were fresh. Not sure if there was a best to use by date. I open the packs and put them in an airtight container and they stay fresh.

We keep them tightly wrapped in the freezer, except for ones to eat quickly. Those we keep in a plastic baggie and they have always been fresh when we eat them. We buy large quantities at one time, and the ones kept in the freezer last months/years.

I kept mine in the original package in my pantry and used them as needed. They did not get stale. I refrigerated them only if I put a filling in them. Such as lemon tarts or cherry until I was ready to serve them. Hope this helps.

If you use them, they must be kept in the refrigerator. They are made of a very cheap plastic, not like the ones you see in restaurants.

I would suggest putting in the fridge to ensure that the cake keeps! But it does keep them for a couple days at room temp.....but if they have fruit you need too refrigerate! Or the fruit will mold.....

No need to refrigerate these treats. They are packaged in plastic. I keep them in a zip top bag to keep them dry and fresh. They might spoil if they got damp.

in the refrig. probably several months but you should soak them for 24 hours, blanch them, and eat them. Dehydrate if you have one, they get crunchy

I don't refrigerate mine. I keep them in a jar in the cupboard. Between my husband and myself we use one bag per month. They are so great for giving us energy (we're in our 60's) and for keeping us old Farts regular! I hope that helps - though I'm sure that's TMI ! :0)

They should be kept in an air tight container -- but you could store them in the fridge or even the freezer. Albanese also has a website you could visit for details or questions. http://www.albanesecandy.com/

I still have some left over from last year in an air tight container and they're still as fresh as the day I bought them, still crunchy. So it depends on how and where you store them. They are composed entirely of sugar which is effected by moisture and air. So its up to you on the shelf life. Put them in an open bowl in an even remotely moist environment and they wont last a week. Unless you like them without the crunch and soft.
