Notes
Storage
- Store: These peach crumb bars will keep well at room temperature for 2-3 days or up to 1 week in the fridge. We actually prefer them chilled and they last longer that way so it's a win-win.
- Freezing: You can also freeze the individual bars for up to 2 months. Wrap them in plastic wrap and store in an airtight container. Thaw on the counter before serving.
