The recipe says to refrigerate before cutting, so it’s worth a try. I’d wrap one individually and freeze. Defrost it the next day and try it. Since it’s a baked, I can almost guarantee it will be fine, but if not, you’ve only lost one. (They might be even better to eat when frozen, who knows?). Let us all know how it turns out.
Can these be froozen? These sound delectable but 16 bars for two people is too much.
