How to Store These Cherry Bars

Once the bars have cooled, you can store them on the table or in the refrigerator. The important part of storing these bars is to make sure they are protected from the air. If you are storing the bars in the baking dish, it is important to put a lid on or wrap it with plastic. The other way to store the bars is to move them to an airtight container. This will protect the bars from going stale. The bars will last about 3 to 5 days when stored on the counter and a week when stored in the refrigerator.
