Q: What is fudge?
A: Although fudge is often associated with chocolate, it is actually
the result of mixing sugar, butter, and milk together. The confection
is then beaten until it gets the smooth, creamy consistency that
it is known for. The original fudge was caramel flavored.
Q: What’s the origin of fudge?
A: Some people think that fudge was created by mistake. In 1886,
an American candy maker bungled (or “fudged”) a batch
of caramel, but the new product was so good that the treat quickly
caught on, becoming the candy staple that we know today.
Q: What is penuche?
A: Penuche is caramel-flavored fudge, sometimes referred to as
“original flavor.” Penuche often has nuts in it.
