Preservation Infos

refrigerated : 1 week (store in an airtight container,separate layers with parchment paper or cupcake liners to prevent sticking), frozen : 2 months (wrap individual squares tightly in plastic wrap,store in an airtight freezer-safe container,thaw in the fridge before serving), room temperature : 1-2 days (keep in a cool spot away from direct sunlight,best for short-term serving since caramel layer softens at warm temperatures)
