Best ways to enjoy it
M&M Cookie Dough Fudge is as versatile as it is delicious. You can serve it straight from the dish, or plate it for a more elegant touch. Consider pairing it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or drizzling a bit of chocolate sauce on top for an even sweeter experience. Adding fresh strawberries or raspberries can also bring a lovely tartness that balances the sweetness perfectly.
Keeping leftovers fresh
To maintain the freshness of your M&M Cookie Dough Fudge, store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

Once frozen, place them in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to three months.
