A Memory of Fudge
Posted by The Editorial Desk / Wednesday, December 15th, 2010
My grandfather made the best peanut butter fudge. I remember trying to climb on the kitchen counters and cabinets to reach the top of the refrigerator where the fudge was usually placed out of reach. I always succeeded in stealing a piece (sometimes 7!) and to this day I cannot find a peanut butter fudge recipe that matches his.

Fudge is good anytime of the year, but around the holidays it is great to take to parties or give as gifts. Fudge can be plain or dressed up with nuts, sprinkles, marshmallows, or chopped up candy. Rocky road fudge is also one of my favorites.

Whether you buy fudge or make your own, it is a treat that everyone is sure to like. Your fudge may even turn out so good that people think of it 25 years later- like I do my grandfather’s fudge. That’s some powerful cooking!
