Our Best Fudge Storing Tips (How to make ahead and keep fresh!)

• If making ahead of time, keep fudge in one large sheet in the freezer, in a tight bag with no air bubbles in the freezer, for up to 3 months. We actually like to keep it inside two bags – one that has all the extra air pushed out, and one over that bag to help prevent freezer burn.
• Do not slice fudge into squares until you can give it away or eat it – this helps prevent it from drying out.
• Store uneaten fudge in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 1 week; or 2 weeks refrigerated.

How to cut solid fudge:

• Make sure your fudge is completely cooled before cutting (2 hours in fridge/1 hour in freezer)
• Use a knife with good balance (our favorite is a 5″ santoku knife, because it has a good thick blade and fits well in our hand)
• Press down hard, and break it apart!
