Store the bark in a covered airtight container on the counter for 2-3 days.
For longer storage, keep it in an airtight covered container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Freezer Instructions: For longer storage, wrap the candy in wax paper and then in a freezer-safe bag.
To defrost, thaw at room temperature. Leave the candy in the wax paper so moisture doesn't form on the candy.
