How to Store and Freeze Fudge
Store the fudge in an airtight container (with wax paper between layers) at room temperature for one to two weeks. There's no need to refrigerate fudge.
To freeze fudge, wrap it tightly in wax paper, then wrap it again in aluminum foil. Place the foil-wrapped fudge in a freezer-safe container or wrap it in another layer of foil. Freeze for up to three months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight.

Allrecipes Community Tips and Praise
"I have made this fudge several times over the years and have followed the recipe to a tee every time and have gotten perfect results," raves jtrzcinski. "This fudge is so creamy and delicious, it is requested by family and friends every year."
"I stuck to the recipe and it was wonderful," says Chris Simmons. "My only suggestion: ALWAYS put nuts in the oven for a quick roast/toast before putting them in sweets. Toasting the walnuts before putting them in the fudge released a warmer nutty flavor and crisped the walnuts so that it made the fudge even more amazing, and offset some of the sweetness."
"This is super easy, but you have to watch it and stir constantly," according to marybeth bellardini. "I didn't make a single change and it comes out perfectly every single time. Definitely a keeper."
