    My lovely neighbours kindly gifted us some home made fudge just before Christmas.


    After all the chaos I finally can start looking forward to enjoying all our gifts.


    Is the homemade fudge still safe to eat? They wrapped it up with cellophane


    Many thanks

    We're still going on the last of the fudge we made for Christmas, so I'm sure yours will be fine!
