Indulge in the rich, decadent flavor of homemade chocolate fudge! Properly stored, this sweet treat can maintain its delightful texture and taste for extended periods, ensuring you can savor every bite.

Storage Time

Up to 2 weeks in the pantry at cool room temperature, or 3-4 weeks if refrigerated.

Temperature

Ideal pantry storage is a cool, dry place between 18-21°C (65-70°F). Refrigeration at 0-4°C (32-40°F) can extend shelf life.

Freezing

Yes, chocolate fudge freezes beautifully! For best results, wrap individual pieces tightly in plastic wrap, then place them in an airtight container or freezer bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. 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 its smooth texture.

Signs of Spoilage

• Development of a white, powdery coating (sugar bloom), indicating moisture loss or temperature fluctuations.
• A stale or rancid smell, especially if it contains dairy or nuts.
• A greasy or oily texture, suggesting the fats have separated.
