Notes

Store your Reese's Bark in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want it to last longer, keep it in the fridge. Just let it come to room temperature before serving for the best taste. Ensure to let each layer cool before adding the next. Feel free to add nuts or other favorites for extra crunch.
