Questions you may have about dessert bars:
Q: Can you make dessert bars ahead of time?
A: Yes! Dessert bars can certainly be made ahead of time. I highly recommend you store them in an airtight container to avoid them from getting overly hard or dry.
Q: Are dessert bars a fancy type of dessert?
A: Dessert bars are known for being fancier than boxed cake or brownies making them an excellent choice for impressing guests at any party or gathering. Trust me, these will be a hit with anyone.
Q: Can you freeze dessert bars?
A: Yes! Just like with any baked dessert, dessert bars can be frozen as long as you freeze them in an airtight container or freezer bag. Once ready to consume, thaw them out until they reach room temperature then serve. They can be frozen for up to a month.
