Christmas crack saltines should keep well in an airtight tin or container for about a week. I keep it in the fridge, but that’s just mean.

This candy can last up to three months in the freezer as long as its stored in an airtight container or bag. I usually wrap things in foil, then put it in a bag, then freeze it.
