Notes
To keep your Pistachio Coconut Delights fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. In humid climates, refrigerate to prevent sogginess. For long-term storage, freeze them for up to 3 months. Use parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking. Feel free to experiment with different nuts or chocolate types for a personalized twist!
