Red Velvet Fudge

If you are new to AMFT, you will learn that I’m slightly addicted to fudge. I find any reason to make it and make it all year long. I try to keep it simple, because who has time for long drawn out fudge recipes! My red velvet fudge uses canned frosting to keep this recipe simple, just like my Valentine’s Day Fudge.

Add in your favorite Valentine’s chocolate candies (I love picking up a bag of pink, white, and red M&Ms) and lots of Valentine’s sprinkles to add a festive touch. Of course, you could totally turn this Red Velvet Fudge into a Christmas version too by swapping out to Christmas M&Ms and Christmas sprinkles. Wouldn’t that be fun?!?!

Can Fudge be Refrigerated?

Absolutely. In fact fudge will last longer when stored in the fridge. It can last 2 weeks in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Just let it come up to room temperature before serving.

But can Fudge go in the Freezer?

YES!!! The best way to store fudge in the freezer and get the best results is to wrap fudge with plastic wrap, then put in a freezer bag or container. The goal is to keep ice crystals from forming. Freezing fudge is a great time saver when planning for a party, dessert tray, or holidays and want to start cooking ahead. So go ahead and make an extra batch and freeze it for later.

Valentine Fudge Gifts

I made a double batch of this red velvet fudge and turned them into Valentine Fudge Gifts for friends, family, and people that we work with (think Scouts leaders, sports coaches, teachers, Bible study leaders, etc). It’s nice to show a little appreciation throughout the year, especially when it’s so easy. Just pick up some cellophane bags and cute ribbon then put a few pieces of fudge in each bag.
