Wrapped or unwrapped?

Unwrapped bulk bags give you the most sticks for the money. Once you open the bag, plan to finish it within about three weeks, and reseal it tightly between servings.

Individually wrapped sticks cost a little more per stick, but each one stays sealed until you eat it. Choose wrapped sticks if you snack slowly, pack lunches, or want to toss sticks into a bag, truck or tackle box.
