My Mom’s Fudge is distinct for its texture which is perfect, and flavor which is rich. It’s both creamy and firm at the same time; soft enough to melt in your mouth smoothly. The incredible balance between the sweetness and cocoa wealth gives an enjoyable nibble each time.

History of Fudge

Origins

The origin of fudge can be traced back to the USA in the late 19th century. The first documented batch of fudge was said to have been made in 1886 when it was sold at a Vassar College Fundraising event. This might have been an accidental discovery like most culinary inventions.

Evolution

Fudge has come from being a mere chocolate candy to be a multifarious delicacy with countless flavors and varieties over time. It grew famous during early 20th century especially in tourist towns like Mackinac Island, Michigan where the shops selling fudges had become a major attraction.
