Fudge Storing Tips

  • When storing fudge, keeping it in an airtight container or zip-top bag is essential. This will help keep out moisture and other contaminants and protect the fudge from any odors that may be present in the area.
  • The fudge should be kept in a cool, dry place away from direct heat. If fudge is being stored for longer than a few days or weeks, the refrigerator is ideal because fudge can last up to two months when stored this way.
  • When placing fudge into a container for storage, ensure enough room for air circulation around each piece. This will help prevent condensation from forming, which could melt the fudge and cause it to become soggy over time.
  • For extra protection against spoilage, you can wrap fudge individually in plastic wrap.
  • If freezing fudge is necessary, completely wrap each piece with plastic or foil so it won’t be affected by freezer burn. Fudge can stay frozen for up to three months if appropriately dressed and stored in an airtight bag. However, once defrosted and at room temperature, the fudge should be consumed within 1-2 days as it spoil quickly after that point due to its milk content.
