Notes

Storage:

Store in an airtight container, on a platter covered tightly in plastic wrap, or in a sealable bag. It'll keep at room temperature for up to a week.

Homemade fudge also lasts up to three weeks in the fridge, tightly covered. It freezes well, too. Place it in an airtight container or freezer bag and freeze for up to three months.

How to heat treat baking mix

Baking mixes contain raw flour which should be heat-treated before eating. Heating it to 165°F will kill any potentially harmful bacteria that may be present.
Heat-treat the mix in the oven by spreading it onto a baking sheet and baking the dry mix at 350°F for 5 minutes, or until it reaches 165°F on an instant-read thermometer.

Tips

- I prefer Eagle Brand’s sweetened condensed milk because it only contains real milk and sugar—no preservatives or artificial ingredients.

- We heat-treat the sugar cookie mix to 165 degrees F to kill any potentially harmful bacteria in the raw flour.

- The sugar cookie mix may clump up a bit after being heated. Whisk it thoroughly into the melted ingredients for smooth ‘n creamy fudge.

- Resist the urge to dig into your fudge before it’s fully set! Slicing warm, melty fudge makes a mess, even with a sharp knife.
