How to store Easy Peanut Butter Strawberry Jam Fudge

Since this healthy peanut butter and strawberry jam fudge bar is made without chocolate or condensed milk, it will get soft at room temperature and needs to be stored in the fridge or freezer.

Store peanut butter protein fudge in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 7 days.

To freeze protein pb & j fudge bars, place sliced fudge bars in a zipper bag with pieces of parchment paper in between and keep in the freezer for 2-3 months. You can also use a freezer safe airtight container here.

Be sure to let the frozen peanut butter jelly fudge soften for a few hours in the fridge or at room temperature so it’s not too hard to bite into.

Tips for the perfect PB & J Protein Fudge

Make sure you use room temperature runny peanut butter since a hard one out of the fridge won’t combine well.

Allow the protein jam to cool before spreading over the peanut butter layer.

Let the fudge + jam layer harden before layering since it will be fairly difficult to do this at room temperature.

Let the combination also set for a bit so it hardens and is easy to cut.
