Frequently Asked Questions

How long does Christmas Fudge last?
It keeps in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the fridge for 2 weeks.
Can I freeze fudge?
Absolutely! Wrap pieces individually and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge before serving.
Do I need to use sprinkles?
No, they’re optional, but they add a festive touch that makes the fudge look extra special.
