Hi,
How long does chocolate fudge stay fresh?
I need to make around 200 pieces of chocolate fudge for my baby shower. I will wrap each with foil. Do you think it can last up to 3 months?
Thank you,
MC
Answer:Chocolate fudge can stay fresh for a good while if you freeze it. It should be fine for 3 months. I have to admit fudge never lasts that long around here, even in the freezer, because I can't keep my hands (mouth) off of it! :-)
You may want to consider freezing it whole and then slicing and wrapping it near the day of your shower.
Either way, be sure that you wrap the fudge well to keep out as much moisture as possible. For that length of time, I'd be tempted to wrap the package in newspaper or a towel for added protection.
When it's time to thaw it, allow it to thaw while still in the wrapping.
Hope your shower is lots of fun. Congratulations on the upcoming baby. What a blessing!
