Work Quickly

As the fudge mixture sets rapidly, promptness is crucial when transferring it to the pan; speed is essential to avoid any issues. It’s crucial to avoid boiling the fudge ingredients, opting instead to thoroughly melt and stir them before removing the mixture from the heat source. Swiftly transfer the mixture to the prepped pan, then utilize a flexible spatula to distribute it uniformly throughout. Sprinkling the toppings onto the fudge as soon as it’s prepared, take care to press them gently into the still-soft confectionery, allowing the flavors and textures to meld together harmoniously before allowing the fudge to fully set.

Storage and Freezing Instructions

Store leftovers in an airtight container or wrap them tightly in plastic wrap to maintain freshness. These products will remain fresh for approximately two weeks.

Cutting the fudge into bite-sized pieces is achieved by dividing an 8×8 pan into four rectangular blocks of equal size. To preserve freshness, individually wrap the items in plastic wrap before storing them in an airtight, freezer-safe container or resealable freezer bag, thereby preventing freezer burn. Fudge can be successfully stored in the freezer for a duration of up to three months, allowing for convenient preservation and extended shelf life.

Frozen fudge should be stored in the refrigerator for several hours or ideally overnight to allow the flavors to meld together and the texture to set properly.
