  • Let the fudge cool completely before cutting it: This will help to prevent it from crumbling.
  • Store the fudge in an airtight container in a cool, dry place: Fudge can be stored for up to two weeks.
  • Enjoy the fudge!: Fudge is a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed on its own, or used as a topping for other desserts.
