Store, save and savor your homemade fudge

How to store your fudge: You’ll want to protect from moisture loss with your fudge. The best way to store it is to wrap your fudge, then place in an airtight container. Your gluten free fudge can last 2-3 weeks at air temperature, longer in the refrigerator.

Can I freeze homemade fudge? Yes. The best method to freeze your fudge is to leave it uncut in a solid block or large hunks. Then double wrap your fudge with plastic wrap. Finally,  place your fudge in an airtight container.

How to thaw frozen fudge: Place your hunk of gluten free fudge-y goodness in the refrigerator to thaw with the wrap on. Unwrap your fudge and allow 15 minute or so to breath at room temperature before cutting.

Some options for your fudge toppings, if you so choose:

• Sea salt (our favorite, it compliments the fudge flavor nicely!)
• Nuts, including walnuts, almonds, peanuts or even pistachios.
• Peanut butter swirl, because chocolate and peanut butter are best friends.
• Your candy of choice, if that’s your thing. Just make sure your candy is gluten free.

A little nibble of history: Did you know that fudge is thought to be of American origin? Story has it, in the 1800s someone messed up a batch of caramel, alas the first “oh fudge” moment and the deliciousness was born. If the name fits, YUMMMM.
