To chill or not to chill: Do you refrigerate hot fudge?

It's best to refrigerate hot fudge if you want to store it for later. The cold temperature will help preserve its texture and flavor, so it won't spoil easily. Just make sure to let it cool to room temperature before transferring it to an airtight container and refrigerating it.

Yes, refrigerate it! It helps keep it fresh and ready for your next dessert.

Totally get the dilemma! If you want that thick, fudgy texture, go ahead and refrigerate it. But if you prefer it pourable, room temp is the way to go. It’s all about how you like your fudgey goodness!
