The chocolate peppermint loaf can be stored at room temperature for 1-2 days. However, you can also store it in the fridge for 2-3 days.
If you want to freeze the chocolate peppermint loaf, do not freeze it with the frosting. Once the loaf is baked, let it cool completely.
Let the loaf cool completely, then double-wrap it with plastic wrap. Double wrapping the loaf will prevent freezer burn.
Freeze the chocolate peppermint loaf for 1 month. When you are ready, ready to eat it, let the chocolate peppermint loaf sit on the countertop for a few hours before you frost it.
