Does Fudge Need to be Refrigerated? Exploring Storage Recommendations
– Fudge should be stored at room temperature for 2 to 3 weeks wrapped in its original wax paper.
– It should not be refrigerated as this will dry it out.
– If you want to keep fudge for longer than 3 weeks, it can be frozen for up to a year.
– To freeze fudge, wrap it in an airtight container using several layers of saran wrap, vacuum seal, or Tupperware.
– When ready to enjoy the frozen fudge, thaw it on the counter for a couple of hours.
– If fudge becomes hard due to being left unwrapped or accidentally refrigerated, it may be possible to soften it by wrapping it in several layers of clear wrap to allow moisture to re-permeate it.
– Another option for hard fudge is to melt it with a splash of milk in a saucepan and use it as a fudge sauce for ice cream.
