Will freezing it work if I thaw it again and then serve? Will it still be the consistency of fudge?

Definitely an easy recipe and a quick whip-it-up dessert. Love the 3 ingredients only and all things I would normally have in my kitchen. The timing in the microwave was perfect. The only reason I didn't give it the full five stars is because I feel like it should be a little sweeter. I expect fudge to be so rich and sweet that you can only eat one piece. That is not the case here. So, maybe a little more sugar? I'm not sure. I'm not good at tweaking recipes, but this one could definitely be sweeter.

For something so quick to put together, this was sooooo good. Didn't need to cook in microwave as long as recipe called for. Probably because I quartered the recipe since its just me eating it. Definitely going into my favorites pile, will be making this a lot in the future with the holidays coming. Thanks for another great recipe Kittencal!!

This is good - really good. I followed the recipe exactly. I was a little worried when the powdered sugar seemed lumpy but after serious handmixing, it all smoothed out. I'm off to make my 2nd batch. Toodles.
