Notes
- Storage
- Store: Store the treats in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days. If it's warm and humid, you might want to keep them in the fridge to prevent them from becoming too soft. If your leftovers are hard, you can reheat them in the microwave for 15–20 seconds to soften them up before serving.
- Freeze: Wrap the bars tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil, either individually or in the slab before slicing it, and place in the freezer for up to 3 months. Let it defrost at room temperature before slicing or serving.
