Notes

torage Instructions
Room Temperature: Store fudge in a sealed container for 1–2 weeks. Keep in a cool, dark place to avoid softening. Layer parchment paper between pieces to prevent sticking.
Refrigerator: Store in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 weeks for a firmer texture. Note that refrigeration may slowly draw out moisture, resulting in a slightly crumbly texture over time.
Freezing Instructions
Freeze fudge as a whole block for best texture. Place block in an airtight container or freezer bag.
Wrap fudge (either individual pieces or the whole block) in plastic wrap or foil, then place in a freezer-safe container or bag.
Freeze for 2–3 months if stored properly.
To serve, thaw in the refrigerator overnight.
