Fudge is more or less pure sugar and shouldn't need freezing. In fact I would think if you freeze it it will go soggy.

I froze all of mine last year, so that we didn't eat them all before they got given as Xmas presents.

There weren't any complaints of sogginess

I always freeze mine too, it's always perfect once defrosted

The main reason for freezing is that it stops it from going dry round the edges and also I can make it with cream and it still has a long 'shelf-life' once given, rather than it having to be eaten within a week or so.

Would you recommend freezing it in a block or already cut up, perhaps it doesn't make a difference but no idea as a fudge novice!!

I cut it then froze I think

I cut mine up too and put in tupperware type boxes, with greaseproof between each layer.

Thanks for the advice, hopefully going to have a go tomorrow!

Just discovered (while tidying up) some of last year's 'no cook' cranberry fudge. It was in excellent condition still.

I think I posted it at the time, but I never measured anything so it's a bit approximate.
Half a tin of Caramel Condensed Milk
About 50g dried cranberries
Lots of icing sugar (I think it was around 200g)
Warm the condensed milk in a bowl over hot water
Stir in the cranberries
Stir in sifted icing sugar, adding a little at a time until it gets too stiff to stir
Pour into a suitable tray (I use the foil trays some ready-to-cook veg come in from the supermarket, lined with baking parchment, this much did 1 tray about 8" x 4").
Leave to cool and set, mark into squares, turn out when really cold and firm.
