Storage and Reheating Tips

Store Stuffed Dates with Dark Chocolate in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. For a softer texture, allow the dates to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving. These treats can also be frozen for up to 2 months and enjoyed straight from the freezer or thawed slightly before eating.
