Transfer the cut bars to an airtight container with parchment between the layers, or wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a heavy-duty freezer bag.
Store them at room temperature for 24-48 hours, in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze them for up to 1 month.
Thaw the pecan bars in the fridge or on the counter before serving.
