Does peanut butter fudge need to be refrigerated?

Peanut butter fudge actually can also be stored in the refrigerator, but the refrigerator can dry out the fudge, taking away the creaminess. If you choose to refrigerate it, be sure to store it in a tightly sealed container that can also be wrapped.

What Does Fudge Taste Like?

Large sugar crystals make fudge taste grainy, while very tiny sugar crystals result in a creamy, sweet fudge that tastes like delicious fudge.
