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!

The din of tainted peanut butter alerts finally compelled us to seek out another delectable spreadable with which to coat our palate.
We didn’t have to look any further than chocolate butter—a habit-forming blend of evaporated milk, sugar and butter with the consistency of still-warm fudge (easily spreadable, or even finger-dippable) that’s rich enough to sate even devout chocoholics (creamy texture, bittersweet undertones), but supremely more portable than say, hauling around a gurgling chocolate fountain.

Sisters Jennifer Neiman and Susan Woodhouse are hoping to capitalize on the current snack craze by opening their own gourmet bakery, Cupcakes Actually. Susan will tackle all the baking—“She started perfecting cupcake recipes over the past few years,” Neiman said of her legal assistant sibling-turned-professional baker—while Neiman plans to handle day-to-day operations.
Neiman said they expect to launch with just a handful of signature flavors, but will roll out seasonal/specialty selections as the business grows. Tentative offerings include: basic chocolate/vanilla cakes dipped in chocolate fudge or caramel, basic cakes smothered in rich butter cream or peanut butter frosting, strawberry puree-infused cupcakes topped with strawberry butter cream and an Italian cassata cake swabbed with Swiss butter cream.—WR
