Did you know that fudge used to be chocolate-less? That’s right: the concept of fudge originated in the late 17th century with a candy called Scottish Tablet. This confection has a hard consistency and is made from sugar, butter and condensed milk. Today, a variety of fudge flavors is available, including marshmallow, nuts, caramel, and peanut butter. But there's always one key ingredient: chocolate!
To celebrate National Fudge Day, enjoy your favorite types of fudge with your friends and family. Don't be surprised if they don't want to share!
