Notes

How to Store Eggnog Fudge

You can leave your fudge out at room temperature or in the fridge in an airtight container. However, fudge does not need to be stored in the refrigerator, in fact, cold air can actually dry the fudge out. Keep in an airtight container for up to 14 days.

How to Freeze Eggnog Fudge

The best thing about this recipe is it can be made in advance and keeps very well!

This eggnog fudge recipe can also be frozen to enjoy long after after the holiday party! When freezing homemade fudge, I like to double wrap it in freezer safe packaging to prevent freezer burn.

I prefer to freeze fudge in a large block, rather than pre-cutting it. I feel this protects the inside better and ensures the freshest taste possible.

Be sure to enjoy the fudge within two months. To thaw, bring it out to room temperature about 24 hours before you want to enjoy it. Store in an airtight container for freshness.
