Storage Information

Room temperature: Brownies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature.

Refrigerator: To extend storage time, brownies can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Freezing: While it's possible to freeze brownies with ganache frosting, the frosting's texture might be affected upon thawing. It's generally recommended to freeze the brownies without the ganache and add it once they've thawed. Brownies can be frozen for up to 3 months when stored with a layer of plastic wrap and foil.
