How to Store Pumpkin Pie Fudge
When you make homemade fudge, you want to make sure it lasts. Actually, no matter where you get your fudge from, you want it to last. No one wants that rich and creamy decadent fudge to go bad. It is important when you are storing the fudge that it is in an airtight container. When it is not, it dries out and gets crumbly. When storing the fudge, it can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. You can store it in the refrigerator for longer shelf life.
Can you Freeze Fudge
When you have fudge that will not get eaten before it goes bad, you can freeze the fudge. Make sure that the fudge is wrapped well before freezing. I like to freeze the fudge so that I can take out individual pieces as I am ready for them so that there is no waste. I cut the fudge into pieces and them lay them together in an airtight container in a single layer. I add a layer of parchment or wax paper and then add the next layer. For added protection, you can wrap each piece of fudge in plastic. This will also work in a freezer bag. When you are ready for a piece of fudge, remove however much you want, and leave the rest in the freezer.
Variations to Easy Fudge
With this recipe, I am making pumpkin spice fudge. You can change things around a bit with this recipe. If you are looking for ways to change up this pumpkin spice fudge you can try:
- Pecans: You can add finely chopped pecans to this fudge recipe. It gives the fudge a crunch but the pumpkin and pecans go great together.
- Caramel: Caramel and pumpkin are fantastic together. You can a bit of drizzle to this fudge either over the top or into the batter.
