How long does it keep?
Once your fudge has set, either cover it with plastic wrap or cut into squares and place in an airtight container. It will keep well at room temperature for around 4 weeks and up to around 6 in the fridge. Always keep it covered to avoid it drying out.
Can you freeze it?
Yes, you can freeze homemade fudge, but you must wrap it really well to protect it. Wrap individual squares in plastic wrap and then place them into a freezer bag and remove as much air as possible.
To thaw frozen fudge, it’s best to do it slowly. Don’t take the fudge out of the freezer bag to defrost it and this will protect it from taking on too much moisture. Thaw it at room temperature or in the fridge.

Tips!
- Be sure to line your baking sheet with parchment. If you don’t, the fudge can get stuck to the tin. Let the parchment overlap the tin so that you can remove it easily.
- Melt the chocolate slowly in the microwave, stirring between intervals, so that it doesn’t burn. You can also melt it in a double boiler on the stovetop.

Do you need to the mix according to the box or literally just use the mix only ? Directions aren’t clear?
Hi Alyssa. use the cake mix as a dry ingredient!
Without baking the cake mix, isn’t there a chance of getting E. Coli from the flour?
You can bake the powder in the oven beforehand to kill bacteria.
I’ve made it yesterday and hasn’t set after how many hours….
Usually, that means it needed to be cooked a little longer!
Hi, so sorry, there is a typo in the earlier response. It should say it needs to be *cooled* a little longer!
I need alot of these…can I double the batch and do they freeze well?
Yes and Yes!
Yes, you can freeze homemade fudge, but you must wrap it really well to protect it. Wrap individual squares in plastic wrap and then place them into a freezer bag and remove as much air as possible.
