Storage

Refrigerator

Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. Allow the fudge to come to room temperature before serving.

Freezer

You can also freeze fudge to extend its shelf life. Place inside a freezer container. Separate the layers with parchment paper to prevent them from sticking.

Freeze the fudge up to 2 months. This is helpful during the holidays when you need to prepare desserts in advance.

Variations

• Toppings. You can add sprinkles, nuts, sea salt, candies or other toppings to this delicious Chocolate fudge. Just make sure that you add it before it sets so it sticks.
• Peanut Butter Fudge. Feel free to add peanut butter to this mixture to transform it into yummy Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge.
• Milk Chocolate Chips. Substitute milk chocolate for semi sweet chocolate in this recipe. It will be sweeter but is another option if you desire.
• Dark Chocolate. Dark Chocolate chips make another tasty flavor to try.
• Salted Butter. You can add 1 tablespoon salted butter to the mixture. It will add salt to the fudge mixture and cut down on the sweetness. The salt will also help to make the fudge last longer.

Tips to make Fudge in Crock Pot

• Sweetened Condensed Milk. This is the ingredient that gives the fudge its sweetness and creaminess. It can’t be substituted for evaporated milk as it will not have the same creamy results.
• Prepare the crock pot. Spray the crock pot or use crock pot liners. Either method is helpful to make clean up easier.
• Stir frequently. As the mixture melts, it is important to stir every 15 minutes. This will prevent the ingredients from burning or sticking.
