If you’re a chocolate lover, then you might consider fudge to be one of the sweetest treats there is.
Though its exact origins are unknown, fudge is a distinctly American creation. Food historians date its discovery to the late 1800s, when it was said to have sold for 40 cents a pound.
So how is this delectable treat prepared?
You begin by heating sugar and cream, then adding chocolate. This mixture is cooked and stirred until it reaches the “soft-ball” stage. Then the fudge is poured into a pan, and it sits until it coagulates (see definition and hear pronunciation below) into a creamy but solid delicacy to be served.
The fudge is then traditionally cut into mouth-watering squares of sweetness!
