Storage:
• Room Temperature: Store Candy Corn Bark in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 2 weeks.
• Refrigerator: For extra firmness, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks. Let the bark sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before serving for the best texture.
• Layer Carefully: Place parchment or wax paper between layers to prevent the bark from sticking together.
• Freezing: Freeze in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
• Make Ahead: Candy Corn Bark is a great make-ahead treat! Prepare it several days in advance and store it in an airtight container until you're ready to serve or package it for gifts.
