Freezing Your Fudge

Many of our customers travel quite a distance to visit us and want to buy fudge to enjoy throughout the year. Others love a particular seasonal fudge and want to buy extra for later enjoyment. These instructions should do the trick.

Our fudge can be frozen up to a year. Cut fresh fudge into the size piece(s) you would like to freeze. Wrap the pieces with an airtight material, such as aluminum foil (most plastic wraps, other than Saran, are actually not airtight barriers). Place the pieces of wrapped fudge into a plastic freezer bag and store in the freezer until needed. The amount of fudge you place in each freezer bag should be the amount you would want to defrost at any one time.  The secret to successfully freezing fudge is in the thawing process. When you are ready to consume the fudge, remove the fudge from the freezer. Keep the fudge in the plastic bag and let it sit at room temperature for several hours until it has thawed. After thawing, remove the foil, or Saran, from the cut piece of fudge. If the fudge is removed from the plastic bag before it has come back to room temperature, moisture in the air will condense on the fudge, making the top of the fudge sticky and soft.
