Q:How Do I store fudge?
A: Storing Fudge @ Room Temp: The key to fudge is keeping the moisture in the fudge.To do this keep your fudge in wrapped in the wax paper/saran wrap that it came with. Beyond that you could place it in a zip lock bag or even heat seal it in a bag.
A: Storing Fudge in the Freezer: You want to prevent freezer burn and make sure all moisture is locked in tight. To do this make sure each piece of fudge is wrapped individually in saran wrap. Then place all fudge in azip lock bag making sure to force most of the air out before sealing. Double bagging the fudge is recommended.
