Notes

Room Temperature - Store on the counter in an airtight container for up to two weeks.

Refrigerate - If your room is warm, store the bark in an airtight container, with parchment placed between layers, in the refrigerator.

Be aware that the refrigerator may cause the chocolate to bloom. Blooming is a process where the cocoa butter comes to the surface making the chocolate look gray or powdery. The chocolate is still okay to eat.

Freeze - For long-term storage, freeze the bark in a sealed, freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Wrap the bark in parchment paper, then place it in a ziplock bag or airtight container to protect it from freezer burn.

Thaw it in the refrigerator before serving to prevent condensation from forming on the surface.
