Storage Tips
- Refrigerator: Store fudge tightly wrapped in plastic wrap inside an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
- Freezer: For long-term storage, wrap pieces individually or in layers separated by parchment, then freeze for up to 3 months. Allow the fudge to return to room temperature before slicing or serving.
Pro Tips for Perfect Fudge
- Timing matters: Boil the butter mixture for exactly 4 minutes once it starts to bubble — this ensures the right texture without needing a candy thermometer.
- Toast your pecans: Don’t skip this step! It brings out their nutty aroma and gives the fudge an irresistible depth of flavor.
- Mix quickly but carefully: Once the hot syrup hits the sugar mixture, stir briskly — the fudge will start to thicken fast.
