Indulge in the creamy sweetness of homemade vanilla fudge, a delightful confection perfect for any occasion. Properly stored, this classic treat maintains its rich flavor and tender texture, ensuring a satisfying bite every time.

Storage Time

Best enjoyed within 1-2 weeks when stored properly at room temperature; refrigeration can extend freshness slightly but may affect texture.

Temperature

Store in a cool, dry place, ideally between 18-22°C (65-72°F). Avoid direct sunlight and heat sources.

Freezing

Vanilla fudge can be frozen to preserve its quality for longer periods. Wrap individual pieces or blocks tightly in plastic wrap, then place them in an airtight container or freezer bag. To thaw, unwrap the fudge and let it come to room temperature gradually on the counter for several hours to prevent condensation and maintain its best texture. Freezing may slightly alter the texture, making it a bit softer upon thawing.

Signs of Spoilage

• Development of a sticky or overly soft texture that doesn't firm up.
• Visible mold growth, often appearing as fuzzy spots of various colors.
• An off, rancid, or stale smell, indicating the fats have begun to degrade.
