May 12th is National Nutty Fudge Day; November 20th is National Peanut Butter Fudge Day. Here’s a recipe that covers both holidays! For National Nutty Fudge Day, add the honey-roasted peanuts. An American confection, fudge was a happy accent in the 1880s, created by a woman trying to make caramels. Read the history of fudge and you’ll see that it wasn’t so easy to re-create the accident. Over time, however, recipes and techniques were perfected. The original recipe(s) used cream and butter. Today, everything from sweetened condensed milk to non-dairy milks are used. You need just three ingredients to make this peanut butter fudge from Justin’s, an artisan specialist in nut butters. |
