Tips and Tricks to Make Red Velvet Oreo Cake Squares

These red velvet Oreo cake bars can be kept at room temperature in an airtight container for 3-5 days. Be sure to keep them in a dry and cool area. Avoid storing them in sunlight, as this will cause the chocolate to melt.

In addition, you can also freeze these bars to save you stress by making them ahead of time. Once cooled, wrap the bars in plastic wrap and then place them in an airtight container or gallon bag. The bars can be frozen for 3-6 months and thawed at room temperature before slicing and serving.
