Yes! Fudge can be stored in an air-tight container for up to 3 months in the freezer. To thaw it, simply place it in the refrigerator and let it thaw overnight.

How long can fudge be stored?

Fudge can be stored for up to 3 weeks in the refrigerator or up to 3 months in the freezer.

Will fudge stick to aluminum foil?

Yes. Although you'll see some recipes that direct you to line your dish with foil, you'll want to make sure to lightly spray it with cooking spray first to keep your fudge from sticking to it. Personally, I prefer to use parchment paper. For this microwave fudge, you do not need to oil the parchment paper.

Can fudge be used to make fudge sauce?

No, fudge (the candy) and fudge sauce are different and one cannot be used to make the other.

Is fudge gluten free?

The basic recipe, which calls for chocolate, butter, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract and salt is gluten-free. However, depending on what you add, the end product may not be. Some cereals, spice blends, cookies and other additives may contain gluten.

Ingredients

Units Scale

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate
One 14oz can sweetened condensed milk
2 tbsp unsalted butter
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

In a microwave safe bowl, combine the chocolate, sweetened condensed milk, and butter.
Microwave for 30 seconds and then stir.
Continue microwaving the mixture using 15 second increments, stirring between each session, until the chocolate stirs smooth.
It should be thick and will pull away from bowl and spatula.
Add the vanilla extract and salt, and stir until combined.
Line a 9"x9" square cake pan or casserole dish with parchment paper.
Pour the fudge into your prepared pan and press it into place.
Cover with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for two hours, or until firm.

Notes

Keep your kitchen equipment/utensils free of water when melting the chocolate. Getting water in the melting/melted chocolate will cause it to seize.
Making multiple flavors in a single batch: A full batch of the basic fudge weighs approximately one pound ten ounces. You can divide it accordingly to make multiple variations out of a single batch (I like to divide mine in half - so 13 ounces each - and make two different kinds).
Some dry ingredients, like cereals, will absorb some of the moisture from the fudge and will no longer be crispy.
Storage: Fudge can be stored in an air-tight container for up to 3 weeks in the fridge or 3 months in the freezer.
