Frequently asked questions about holiday fudge.

What makes for a good holiday fudge?

A good holiday fudge is one that tastes and visually reminds us of the holiday.
This is a fudge that is set well, looks amazing, and tastes rich and lush like it should.

To make perfect fudge, use fresh ingredients that are also measured correctly. Also, following the directions is essential as the fudge needs to be cooked right and set correctly.

How do you store fudge?

Fudge should be stored in an airtight container or zip to bag.

Layers should be separated with parchment paper or wax paper so that the pieces do not stick to one another.

This fudge should be refrigerated within a couple of hours after serving. It can also be frozen for up to a few months.

Tips for making great tasting fudge.

Prepare a square pan well for this recipe. I like to use parchment paper that has been lightly sprayed with nonstick.

More tips for you

  1. My fudge is seasoned with typical eggnog seasonings and flavored with rum extract. Feel free to omit any of these or substitute another extract.
  2. While your ingredients are heating on the stove, it is a good idea to whisk the ingredients continually. This will prevent burning the ingredients.
  3. Allow the fudge to fully set before cutting it into servings. Once the fudge has reached room temperature you can place it into the refrigerator to finish setting.

Personalize homemade holiday fudge.

This recipe is really good just the way it is.
However, you can make yours even better.

Try one of these ideas.

  • Add chopped nuts, pretzels, or small pieces of candy for additional texture.
  • Or, you can add a tablespoon of peanut butter for smoother fudge with a peanutty twist.
  • Use cookie cutters to cut the fudge into fun shapes after rolling it out.
