> Can you freeze the Foolproof Fudge made with Eagle Brand Sweetened
> Condensed Milk?
Hi Nancy,
After a bit of research, I'm going to say that yes, you can. Follow these
tips:
Wrap each individual slice or the entire pan with plastic or aluminium foil
and seal thoroughly.
Properly wrapped it should keep for several months.
Leave fudge in its wrapping for at least two hours upon removal from the
freezer to permit it to return to room temperature
You likely already have it, but I'm sending the "FoolProof Fudge" recipe
also.
Phaed
Foolproof Fudge
3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 can Eagle Brand Sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated)
Dash salt
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
In a saucepan over low heat, melt chips with condensed milk and salt.
Remove from heat; stir in walnuts and vanilla. Spread into an aluminum
foil-lined 8- or 9-inch square pan.
Chill 2 hours.
Turn fudge onto cutting board, peel off foil and cut fudge into squares.
Makes about 2 pounds.
Optional Walnut Caramel Topping: Combine 1 1/2 cups toasted walnuts with
6 tablespoons caramel topping. Spread evenly over fudge before chilling.
