storage tips

• storage. Refrigerate remaining energy bites in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. The bites are safe to eat for longer, but will start to dry out. They can be eaten straight from the fridge, but I like to let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before chewing.
• freeze.Place fig almond slices in an airtight, freezer-safe storage container in the refrigerator for up to 3 months. Thaw as needed and enjoy the bites.
