How long does homemade fudge keep?

Fudge has a pretty good shelf life, so go ahead and make a big batch to enjoy across the holidays and for easy gifts. Once set, place the fudge in an airtight container to keep it fresh. It will keep and room temperature for around 2 weeks and in the fridge for 3 to 4.

Does it freeze well?

This peanut butter cup fudge can be frozen, but be sure to wrap it securely to keep it as fresh as possible. When thawed, it can become crumbly in texture, although it will still taste great! Wrap your block of fudge in plastic wrap and foil and place in a freezer bag. It will keep well for up to 3 months.

What causes grainy fudge?

It’s very important not to stir the fudge too much as it cools down. Over stirring causes sugar crystals to form creating a grainy texture rather than a smooth and creamy one. You only need to stir in the vanilla and Reese’s chunks with tow or three stirs before pouring it into your dish.
