    Storage Instructions

    You can store these butterscotch cheesecake bars in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

    Can I Freeze?

    Although you can technically freeze these bars in Ziploc bags, I wouldn’t recommend it. 

    The cream cheese will probably lose its texture when it’s frozen, which might give it a strange grainy texture when you come to defrost it.
