Can you leave fresh cracklins out on the counter for a few days?

Fresh cracklins can be left out on the counter for a short period, but it's not recommended to do so for several days. They are best consumed within a day or two for optimal freshness and crunchiness. If left out for too long, they can become stale or develop bacteria. For longer storage, it's advisable to keep them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
