Made this for my family. It’s a jazzed up caramel-in-the-middle version of my fav fudge recipe, so it was super easy for me. I toasted pecans for the top, and this recipe was a big hit!! Lots of rave reviews and my adult son said it needs a permanent place in my Christmas baking lineup!

In reply to Karen. Yes, absolutely! As long as you thaw it and store it in the refrigerator, the caramel layer should hold up just fine.

Good afternoon,
Just came across this recipe and would love to try it for Christmas. Can you make this turtle fudge and freeze it? If so how will it thaw? Will the caramels run out when thawed?

Thank you
Karen

In reply to Diane LeRoy. Sorry to hear that, Diane. I haven't had this happen before when I make this fudge. Did you spread the bottom layer of fudge all the way to the edges of the pan? And it may help to allow the caramel to cool slightly and thicken some before adding the top layer of fudge.

In reply to Holli. Hi, Holli! Because of the caramel, I don't think it would travel too well without being refrigerated.

I saw previous comments that the caramel with soften if not refrigerated. I’m flying back home for Christmas and was going to bring the turtle fudge with me – do you think it will withstand a long travel day, or will the caramel all melt and make a mess..?

In reply to Linda. My fudge did the same thing. It looked great and I was excited but after cutting it and storing it, all the caramel was sitting in the bottom of the container. And it has been refrigerated the whole time.

In reply to Linda. Sorry to hear you had trouble with the fudge, Linda. It's really important to make sure to keep the fudge refrigerated at all times, otherwise, the caramel can soften and get a bit messy. You can also try leaving out the heavy cream next time and see if that helps. I'm glad you were able to make it work though!
