Nanaimo bars can last quite well in the freezer when stored properly. If you want to freeze Nanaimo bars, follow these steps:
Cut and Wrap: Cut the Nanaimo bars into individual portions or leave them in the original squares, depending on your preference. Wrap each bar tightly with plastic wrap or use parchment paper between the layers to prevent sticking.
Air-tight Container: Place the wrapped Nanaimo bars in an airtight container or a freezer-safe resealable plastic bag.
Label and Date: It's a good practice to label the container or bag with the contents and the date you put them in the freezer. This way, you can easily keep track of how long they've been frozen.
Freeze: Put the container or bag in the freezer. Nanaimo bars can typically be stored in the freezer for up to 2 to 3 months without a significant loss of quality.
When you're ready to enjoy them, simply remove the desired number of Nanaimo bars from the freezer, allow them to thaw in the refrigerator or at room temperature for a short while, and they will be ready to eat. It's best not to refreeze them once they have thawed.
By following these steps, you can extend the shelf life of Nanaimo bars and have a delicious treat ready whenever you crave one!
