    Storage

    Refrigerator: Store for up to 2 weeks in an air-tight container.

    Make Ahead: Make this fudge the night before, then chill until ready to serve the next day.

    What to Serve with Fudge

    Fudge is always delicious with milk, coffee, tea, or even dessert wine. It's also great when paired with other sweet treats like:

    • Toffee shortbread cookies
    • Green cookies
    • Blueberry pie bars
    • Chunky monkey bars

    Tips

    • Be sure to thoroughly mix your fudge mixture. It's important that it's fully incorporated.
    • Be gentle when frosting the fudge. It won't be set at that stage, so pressing too hard will lead to a muddy look.

    FAQ

    Is no cook fudge real fudge?

    It is. Traditional fudge is cooked to dissolve the sugar crystals and evaporate part of the moisture. No cook fudge gets rid of that step with sweetened condensed milk.

    What does sweetened condensed milk do in fudge?

    It adds sweetness and creaminess while keep the moisture level low so the fudge can set.

    How long is this fudge good?

    It will last for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator or up to a month in the freezer.
