Notes
How to store Chocolate Caramel Bars:
Serve: Keep the bars sealed at room temperature for up to 5 days. Store them in a cool place; if it's too warm, refrigerate them. Store: In an airtight container, the bars will stay good in the fridge for up to a week. The caramel may slightly harden due to chilling, so bring the bars back to room temperature before serving. Freeze: You could freeze the bars for up to 3 months. Place them in a freezer bag or another sealed container, with layers separated by wax paper or parchment paper. Thaw them on the counter before serving.Pin this delicious Caramel Chocolate Bars recipe on Pinterest to save and share with your foodie friends!
