fudge experiences a change in temperature, it can melt or develop a slimy texture on the surface. If it is exposed to air, it can dry out and become hard. Specific add-ins to fudge have the potential to grow mold or give off a bad odor, and at that point, the fudge should be avoided.
Unlike baked goods, fudge tends not to spoil in the traditional sense. It's highly unlikely that fudge will mold or rot. Instead, as the fudge ages, the texture and taste will start to degrade. While it may still technically be safe to eat fudge if it exhibits signs of spoilage, it won't be a pleasant experience!
In every case, how long can I keep fudge for? In a cool place the fudge will keep for about 2 weeks but you can also keep the fudge in the fridge which will extend the life for 3 to 4 weeks. Fudge can also be frozen in airtight containers for up to 3 months.
At any rate, does chocolate fudge need to be refrigerated?
Fudge will keep at room temperature just fine. It does not need to be refrigerated. You can keep it in the refrigerator if you feel that you like it coldβand some people prefer it that way. In this case, just make sure it is air tight, as cold air will surely dry out your fudge quicker.
How long is peanut butter fudge good for in the fridge?
Store uneaten fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Fudge is best stored at room temperature in an airtight container. We strongly suggest immediately upon receiving your treats, transfer to an airtight container. This will preserve freshness the longest, as it will prevent it from drying out.
Use as a topping on ice cream or frozen yogurt. You can even doctor up your milk shakes to make them taste just like fudge! Serve warm or cold on top of ice cream, fresh fruit or sprinkled over cake, muffins and cupcakes.
A lot of big crystals in fudge makes it grainy. By letting the fudge cool without stirring, you avoid creating seed crystals. ... The more you stir, the more crystal seeds you get. But instead of getting a few huge crystals (and grainy candy), you get lots and lots of tiny crystals, which make for thick, smooth candy.
Fudge is created by mixing sugar, milk, butter, and other ingredients (such as cocoa in chocolate fudge) and heating them until they melt together....Differences at a Glance.

Ingredients
Milk, sugar, cocoa butter, cocoa
Milk, sugar, butter, flavorings (which can include cocoa, but not necessarily)
Note that although many types of fudge do contain cocoa, many recipes do not. Thus fudge is considered a candy made from crystallized sugar, whereas chocolate is a candy made from sweetened cocoa, in an emulsion of cocoa butter.
