How Long are Chocolate Covered Pretzels Good For?

Chocolate covered pretzels can stay fresh for up to two weeks when stored properly. Make sure to keep them in a tight-fitting container and store them in cool temperatures.

If it's summer or the weather is warm, consider refrigerating them. Exciting, right?
