Morphology
The meaning is a straightforward compositional combination of 'pack' (to place items into containers) and 'fudge' (a sweet confection); the verb + noun structure directly describes the action of putting fudge into packages. This follows a common and predictable English pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Pack fudge comes from the simple act of using pack to put fudge into boxes, tins, or paper so it can be sold or given as gifts. So pack fudge means 'to prepare or arrange fudge for sale or to give away'.
