How long does homemade fudge keep?

Once your homemade fudge has set, cut it into squares and store in an airtight container, with the layers separated with parchment. It will keep well for around 2 weeks at room temperature and up to 1 month when kept in the refrigerator.

Can I freeze red velvet fudge?

Yes, you can freeze fudge for up to 1 year. It’s important to store and thaw it correctly so that the texture isn’t altered. Cut the fudge into squares, wrap individually in plastic wrap, and place into a Ziplock bag, removing as much air as possible. To thaw, remove from the freezer, but keep the fudge in the plastic bag, and leave at room temperature for a couple of hours until it’s ready to eat.

What can I do with homemade red velvet fudge?

Because of its long shelf life, this red velvet fudge makes for a great homemade food gift. Place some pieces in a cellophane bag, decorate with ribbon and a name tag, and you are good to go. It’s great for teachers’ gifts and gifts to friends and family. Be sure to try this Butterfinger Fudge or Chocolate Chip Cookie Fudge too!

Recipe Tips and Tricks

  • Spread the cake mix out on a rimmed baking sheet and bake it at 350°F for about 5 minutes, or until 160°F to heat-treat the flour.
  • Leave a small amount of overhanging paper on the sides of the pan so you can easily remove the fudge after it sets.
  • Allow the fudge to fully set before cutting it into squares. This will take about 1 hour.
  • To prevent the red velvet fudge from drying out, keep it covered with saran wrap or in an airtight container.

        You’re not supposed to eat rare flour because of the bacteria such as E. coli, so I would microwave the flour first for a least 5 minutes before doing this recipe. But it does sound like a good recipe.
