Storage Suggestions

If you manage to have any leftover Bars + Brownies, these can store well if prepped appropriately. Once they have cooled completely, here is how you can store it:

• Counter: Store bars and brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. If your kitchen is particularly warm, consider refrigerating instead to prevent them from getting too soft or melty.
• Refrigerator: Place in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 1 week. Let them come to room temperature before serving for the best texture and flavor.
• Freezer: To freeze, make sure bars and brownies are completely cooled and unfrosted. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap (or Press & Seal) and then place in a freezer-safe bag or container. For easier portioning, wrap individual squares before freezing. Don’t forget to label with the date. They’ll stay fresh in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Why do you need to microwave the flour?

When you are working with flour, generally it is heated up whether it is in the oven or on the stovetop which kills the bacteria in raw flour. However, with this no bake bar cookies you will not be heating up the flour in the slightest. 

Before you mix the dry ingredients into the creamy mixture, you need to microwave the flour by itself in order to kill any of the bacteria that might be in the flour. Once you do that, you are ready to go!
