Notes
Store: Store bars first 3 days in a container or dish covered with the towel. Then store in an airtight container for another 3 days. After I would place them in a fridge for a few more days. Just watch so bars do not get soggy or dry out too much and move them around accordingly.
Freeze: Freeze in a Ziploc bag or airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw on a counter for a few hours.
