Ways to Store the Oatmeal Bars 

You can store your Oatmeal Fudge Bars in different types of containers. When using a large food storage container, place parchment paper inside the container. After you put the parchment paper down, you can place the fudge bars on top, leaving a bit of space between them. Make sure to cover the container with an airtight lid. You do not need to keep these bars in the fridge. You can store them on the kitchen table or in a cabinet in your kitchen.

Can You Freeze the Bars?

If you want your Oatmeal Fudge Bars to last longer, you can put them in the freezer. While they will stay good in a food storage container for at least a week, you can keep them fresher for a little while longer by storing them in the freezer. Your bars will stay good in the freezer for up to three months. You can allow them to thaw out on the kitchen table when you want to eat them.
