I honestly don’t know. Can you eat them? If you can’t, how do you dispose of them… respectfully?

They are good broken up in coffee as well as being eaten straight.
Many people eat them, but I don’t use sugar at all, so I just throw them away.
You can eat them, but I would keep them. Spray some varnish on them and you’re good.
Or
Make a Dhalsim necklace
And it’s considered “okay” to do that? I know in other religious practices involving food, you shouldn’t eat it afterward because you offered it to __.
@Iclamae The Hebrews ate the sacrificial food. Though only Kohanim, their families and stewards of the temple were allowed to.
I think this is a great question. I’d love to see an answer by someone who celebrates this way traditionally.
Hoping I have not been offensive drinking sugar skulls.
By the way @peedub great idea with the preservation!
