Indulge in the rich, decadent flavor of homemade caramel fudge! This sweet treat, crafted with creamy caramel and a smooth fudge base, is perfect for gifting or enjoying as a delightful dessert. Proper storage ensures its delightful texture and taste remain intact for longer enjoyment.
Storage Time
Store caramel fudge in an airtight container at cool room temperature for up to 2 weeks. For extended freshness, it can be refrigerated for up to 3 weeks, though texture may slightly firm up.
Temperature
Ideal storage is in a cool, dry place, ideally between 18-22°C (65-72°F). Avoid direct sunlight and heat sources.
Freezing
Yes, caramel fudge can be frozen to preserve its deliciousness for months. Wrap individual pieces or blocks tightly in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or airtight container. To thaw, unwrap the fudge and let it come to room temperature gradually on the counter for a few hours to prevent condensation and maintain optimal texture. Freezing may slightly alter the texture, making it a bit firmer.
Signs of Spoilage
- Visible mold growth, often appearing as fuzzy spots of various colors.
- An off, rancid, or sour smell, indicating the fats have gone bad.
- A sticky, greasy, or overly soft texture that deviates significantly from its original firmness.
