Storage and Make-Ahead Tips
- To store the Fruit Cake 7-Layer Bars, place them in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay fresh for up to 3-4 days. If you want to store them for a longer period, you can refrigerate them for up to a week. Just make sure to let them cool completely before storing to avoid condensation.
- If you prefer to make the bars ahead of time, you can bake them and store them as described above. You can also freeze the bars for up to 3 months. To freeze, wrap the cooled bars tightly in plastic wrap and then place them in an airtight container or freezer bag. When you’re ready to enjoy, simply thaw at room temperature for a few hours before serving.
Serving Suggestions
- These bars pair wonderfully with a cup of hot coffee, tea, or even a glass of milk. The sweetness of the bars is balanced by the slight bitterness of coffee, making them the perfect afternoon snack.
- For a festive touch, serve these bars on a decorative platter during the holidays or special occasions. You can also top them with a dusting of powdered sugar or drizzle with melted chocolate for an extra indulgent treat.
