Notes
How to Store Peach Pie Bars
In the hot Summer, I prefer to store the bars in the refrigerator. I find that keeping these bars cool allows them to keep shape and last longer. Leftover bars will last for up to 3 days in an airtight container in the fridge. You can also store these in the freezer to extend their shelf life for up to three months.Nutrition
