Either! My family definitely steals some while they are still on the cookie sheet and warm and gooey. They are just as good right out of the fridge (definitely a little less messy)

 

How do I store Muddie Buddies?

You can store the muddy buddies in an airtight container at room temperature for about a week. Or you can keep them in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
