Storing & Freezing

Storing- These brownies will stay fresh in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Freezing- If you have any leftover, you can freeze them by wrapping them in a layer of plastic wrap and then another layer of foil then place them in a freezer safe bag. This will help prevent them from getting freezer burn and taking on any flavors from the freezer. Keeps for up to 3 months! Thaw on countertop for a couple hours until completely defrosted.
