Why You Shouldn’t Eat Raw Flour
You can either toast the cake mix in the oven before using it or grab a thermometer to ensure the cake mix gets heated to at least 160 degrees. Eating raw flour can make you sick, so always ensuring it gets heated enough is a must. We grab a thermometer to check.
How to Heat Flour in The Oven
Spread your flour out over a Silpat covered baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 5 minutes. Then you are able to use the flour in recipes like edible cookie dough, and fudge recipes like this.
How to Make Cake Batter Fudge

In a bowl heat, your sweetened condensed milk and white chips until melted.
Add in your sprinkles and pour into an 8×8 pan.
Top with more sprinkles and store in the fridge for 2 hours to set before slicing and serving.
Storing Fudge
Your fudge needs to have that chill factor to help harden it up some, so it doesn’t fall apart. Once you have it set up in the fridge, slice, serve or save.
You can then leave your fudge at room temperature or place it back in the fridge. It is all about preference. use an air-tight container in whichever storage method you prefer.
Can You Freeze Fudge
We freeze fudge often, because it is rich, and with our son and we eating it, it would go bad before we got it all eaten. So, wrap up your fudge once made in aluminum foil. Then place the foil-wrapped fudge in a resealable freezer bag or freezer container, and freeze up to 3 months.Thaw in the fridge or on the counter when you are ready to eat it. We always pre-slice it, so we can pull out a piece here and there to enjoy, and then toss the rest back in the freezer.
