Need Fudge Packing Advice

[pixmedic]

Picked up some home made fudge at our local market. it is soooo good.
anyway, I want to take it when we go out to a friends house tomorrow, but im afraid it will start to melt together. They are in there pretty tight, and once it gets soft, its much harder to get in and out. I was thinking of separating the pieces with plastic wrap. Or, would wax paper work better? Or, something else i haven't thought of?

Tape up box, address it to me. I will test various methods and then report their deliciousness back to you.

from left to right they are mint oreo cookie, S'mores, and red velvet cake.

Put each piece into a plastic sandwich bag & repack in the box.

No worry about melting here - minus 10C @ noon.

Just be sure to use plenty of.. um.. waxed paper. Yes.

Try using parchment paper to separate the pieces. It's available in any baking aisle at the grocery store. It won't hold moisture like plastic wrap. You might also want to put it into a small beverage cooler if temps are too hot. Fudge is supposed to be kept cool, but not in a fridge. My husband is a chef, he knows these things.

Humph. He may be a chef, but *I* know fudge. Fudge is NOT supposed to be kept. Period.

The wifes favorite is hand dipped chocolate covered pretzels with toffy bits.

We would have consumed all of the fudge on the way home from the market, so I'd just write down where we got it and hand that note to the friend -- "Oh, you need to go here and get some of the fudge -- it sooooo good!"

Wax paper. Or just eat it all now and be done with it

If you MUST take it with you, I'll go along with parchment paper between slices; like some restaurants do with carrot cake.

I suppose I dont HAVE to...we just want to.

Having never packed fudge before, I will admit to some concerns about it becoming a bit messy.
It seems however, that the proper barrier might eliminate that issue.

I appreciate the culinary insight into this problem, Parchment paper it is!

I'm with Sharon and Charlie. Given the extremely short shelf-life of fudge, it must be consumed immediately. The best place to carry it is below the rib cage. Of course, sharing under the circumstances, is not recommended. We do buy fudge, but it never seems to cross the threshold of the front door. The evaporation rate is something fierce.

We never buy it, too damn sweet.
