Storing Coconut Chocolate Bars

Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature—do not refrigerate them or they will become soggy. They last up to three days.

If you want to store them for longer, wrap each bar in plastic wrap and then put them in a freezer bag. They last for up to three months in the freezer. Defrost them at room temperature. (Some people like to eat them frozen!)
