To keep it longer, store fudge in the freezer (in an airtight container) between plastic wrap, wax, or parchment paper for up to three months. Frozen fudge should be thawed in the refrigerator, not at room temperature. Once the fudge thaws, it should be consumed within a week and should not be refrozen.
