Could you please tell me how
long homemade fudge will last?
Its 2 weeks before Christmas,
and I want to give it as
gifts. Thank you.
Frozen
fudge will keep for months if
wrapped in waxed paper then
again in aluminum foil and
stored in an air-tight
container. Wrap each individual
slice or the entire box with
plastic or aluminum foil and
seal thoroughly. Properly
wrapped it should keep for
several months.
Leave fudge in its wrapping for
at least two hours upon removal
from the freezer to permit it to
return to room temperature.
Fudge stored in the refrigerator can last 2-3 weeks when kept in an air-tight container. Fudge stored at room temperature in an air-tight container will last 7-14 days. Fudge should be stored in an air-tight container (tin or plastic), each layer separated by a sheet of waxed paper. Fudge stored in an air-tight container at room temperature will "ripen" over the first 24 hours.
