Can it Be Made Ahead of Time

Yes, it sure can! It will wait patiently in the refrigerator or in the freezer.

Can This Be Frozen

Yes! Fudge freezes well.

Just put it in an airtight container; some plastic wrap around it inside for extra protection is great, and put it in the freezer.

I have frozen it for a few weeks ahead and it tastes fresh for the holidays and when we had leftovers, I have frozen it for even a few months after.
