Storage Information + Recipe Tips

shop It’s at room temperature, so store this fudge, or you can choose to keep it in the refrigerator. Either way, just make sure the fondant stays in an airtight container with wax paper between the pieces.

toasted pecans It’s actually really easy. You just put them in the oven for about 7-10 minutes, or until they are browned and fragrant. You can stir/flip them occasionally if you’re concerned about them sticking. If you put them on parchment or something like that, you should be good to go.

Sift your powdered sugarr is not required, but it will add more air to baked goods. It also breaks up any clumps and makes them fluffier. This will cause the fudge in your mouth to become more creamy and melt.

Use parchment paper if you have it. Foil doesn’t work very well in my experience, but wax paper should work fine. You can also try oiling the pan.

The Best Way to Cut Fudge Is to let the fondant cool before cutting. Use a long, thin blade. Make sure you just press down to cut, not sawing back and forth. Also, if it seems to be breaking, you should heat the knife under hot water. Then make sure to wipe the knife clean after each cut.

We all know that fondant can be a bit pricey at a chocolate shop, but when you make it at home, you can make a whole plate of fondant for pretty cheap.
