How to store Christmas tree biscuits
If it is for short-term storage, you can put Christmas chocolate in a sealed container and store it in a cool and dry place.
But it should be noted that the storage place should not be too high in temperature, otherwise the chocolate will melt. Also, do not place it in a place directly exposed to sunlight.
If you want to store Christmas chocolate for a longer time, then you can wrap the chocolate Christmas tree with plastic wrap or a sealed bag, expel the air inside, and put it in the refrigerator for refrigeration, which can extend its shelf life and can be kept for a week.

2. For chocolate Christmas trees that have just been taken out of the refrigerator, it is recommended to leave them at room temperature and warm them up slightly before eating to ensure the smooth taste of chocolate and avoid overcooling or overheating to affect the taste.
3. When eating chocolate Christmas trees, pay attention to keeping your hands and tableware clean to avoid contaminating the ingredients and ensure food safety.
FAQs:
During the production process, reduce the direct contact between chocolate and cold air and avoid long-term exposure of chocolate to low temperature environments.
Mainly because chocolate will solidify in a low temperature environment, playing the role of sticking objects.
If it feels not firm, you can apply chocolate sauce or syrup on the surface of the chocolate to increase adhesion.
When placing the ladyfingers, they should be placed neatly and in an orderly manner to form a stable support structure.
Finally, you can add chopped nuts or cookie crumbs to the chocolate layer to increase the support.
