A Really Stupid Cooking Question (Otherwise known as "Ask the friends list")

[nekosensei]

Does fudge have to be refrigerated once it hardens? I'm thinking of pulling out what's in the fridge and cutting it up. I think it can be left on a counter for a couple of days, but I'm not sure.

Yeah, you're good to go once it's hardened. Sitting out on the counter isn't a problem for fudge.

I figured it was okay, but I already messed up one cookie recipe and I didn't want to take any chances with the fudge. I ended up scrapping the first batch and making a second one. The second batch is *much* better.

I looked at the fudge while I was baking cookies and decided it could use to stay in the fridge overnight.

I am so pooped it's not funny.

It can be left on the counter for ages.

Not around my house.

Fudge lasts a couple of days?

Heh heh. Point taken!

"Real" fudge doesn't need to be refrigerated; microwave fudge does.
