(It will dry out if you put it in the fridge.) It can last for 3-4 days. Store the<a href="https://therecipecritic.com/caramel-sauce/" target="_blank"> caramel sauce</a> in a seperate container in the fridge.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><strong>Reheat:</strong> You can put a slice in the microwave for about 30 seconds.
