Continuing with my ABC Desserts series. This one is another of my many favorites.
FUDGE
Fudge gets its name because it is believed that it was made on accident when a batch of Caramel got “fudged”.
Fudge has been apart of American culture since 1886, when a Baltimore grocery store started selling it for 40 cents. In 1888, Emelyn Battersby Hartridge made 30 pounds of fudge for her women’s college, Vassar Senior Auction. Her confection became so popular that it spread to other women’s colleges and people started coming up with their own interpretations.
There are many varieties of fudge. I like these types, just to name a few
1. Chocolate with walnuts
2. Cream cheese swirled in the chocolate
3. Peanut butter fudge
4. White chocolate fudge
5. Salted caramel fudge

My personal favorite is pecan slivers mixed with white and black fudge in a swirl.

Oh yum, I need some of that now! I avoid as well.
there is a place in Annapolis MD that makes it by hand still. I cross the street to avoid that place!
I love fudge! And brownies! And cakes! And ice cream! And pies! Okay, I love just about all kinds of desserts!!
Me too. I try to avoid and eat only in moderation.
Same here! I do that as well but hard sometimes. Got to give yourself a treat now and then though!
I love love love fudge! (I say this under every dessert you mention. I sure do have a sweet tooth.)
It certainly does sound delightful
Me too, any particular kind, or just chocolate?
I love anything with chocolate and nuts.
Same here, and mis in cream cheese, oh my goodness. 😉
Now that my appetite is returning you just made me so hungry. I am out of here tomorrow afternoon and off the find some fudge.
Fudge is easy to make. I even have a great microwave recipe I will share one day.
@RasmaSandra it’s good to hear your appetite is returning. I have been concerned.

Another very delicious dessert. I’m not sure I’ve tried this before.
If you like sweet and chocolate, you will love fudge.
I love chocolate. I need to check if I can buy this dessert.
I am fairly certain I gained weight just looking at it and planning my afternoon treat!

I thought about you when I posted this one. Looking is ok, and remember all in moderation!
Explain that moderation thing to me again in no uncertain terms!
Moderation = a small amount at a time. 🙂
How small, because I really want ice cream for breakfast today!
