Instructions

  • Line a cookie sheet with wax paper and place cookie cutters on top.
  • Instead of pouring the fudge into the pan, use a measuring cup with a handle and scoop portions of fudge into each cookie cutter.
  • Use a small rubber spatula to smooth fudge out as necessary, it will be pretty thick and may not get into all the corners without a little coaxing!
  • Add sprinkles or nuts over the top to garnish and set in the fridge to harden.
  • Once cooled, wrap in clear bags and tie each one with a bow.

    1. I've only done it one or two days in advance! But in general, fudge that is kept in an airtight container at room temperature will last for one to two weeks. Refrigerating fudge can extend its shelf life to two to three weeks. :)

  1. I love this, we make fudge ever year to give out. Its a pick and choose who you want to give a plate to. Now everyone gets some fudge. Its not too much or too little.
