Storage & Freezing Instructions:
Leftover candied bacon can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To restore its crispiness, simply reheat it in the oven for a few minutes
To freeze cooked bacon, lay the slices out on a baking sheet in a single layer and freeze them until they are solid. Once frozen, transfer the slices to a freezer bag. The bacon can be stored this way for up to three months.
