Notes

Storage Information

This fudge stays fresh for up to 3 weeks wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or stored in an airtight container at room temperature or in your refrigerator.

You can freeze this recipe as well. Once set, wrap the fudge in parchment paper, then foil and transfer to a freezer safe ziploc bag (or store in any airtight freezer safe container) and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature or in the refrigerator before serving. I don’t recommend refreezing once thawed so you may also want to store it as smaller serving sizes.
