Shipping Snickerdoodle Cheesecake Bars
Getting Snickerdoodle Cheesecake Bars to your destination without them turning into a big mess isn’t as hard as it sounds. Let me walk you through my tried-and-true tips for keeping these goodies fresh, plus why sending them overnight is worth every penny.
Preservation Tips
To keep those bars tasting just as good as when they left the oven, here’s how I do it:
- Cool Completely: Let those bars cool down completely before you wrap ’em up. Rushing this step could result in soggy bars, which no one asked for.
- Wrap Individually: Wrap each bar in a cosy layer of plastic wrap, keeping them neat and separate.
- Use Parchment Paper: Slip a piece of parchment paper between each wrapped bar for extra elbow room and protection.
- Seal in an Airtight Container: Toss them in a container that’ll keep the air out—freshness is our main goal here!
- Insulate Properly: Bubble wrap or packing peanuts around that container can save the bars from any ‘oops’ moments while tossed around.
- Freeze Before Shipping: If it will be a minute before they reach their destination, give them a deep freeze to keep that chill lasting longer during travel.
Just so you have a handy cheat sheet, here’s a rundown in table form:
| Step | Why It’s Important |
|---|---|
| Cool Completely | Keeps out sogginess |
| Wrap Individually | Stops them from becoming a sticky mess |
| Use Parchment Paper | Gives them room to breathe |
| Seal in an Airtight Container | Blocks air from stealing freshness |
| Insulate Properly | Cuts down the risk of crush ‘n’ tumble |
| Freeze Before Shipping | Holds onto the coolness a bit longer |
