How long do you think these stay good? I'm thinking of making them for Christmas morning and would like to make them ahead of time. I know panettone bread you buy in stores stays good for quite a while. Do these have the same staying power? No, Kate, these don't have nearly the staying power of store-bough panettone, which can stay fresh for (amazingly) months. These are like any muffin - I wouldn't make them more than maybe 3 days ahead, unless you plan to freeze, in which case you can bake and freeze now, thaw on the counter overnight Christmas Eve, and reheat until warm Christmas morning. Enjoy - PJH
