Fudge
Fudge is a type of Western confectionery, which is usually soft, sweet, and rich. It is made by mixing sugar, butter, and milk, heating it to the soft-ball stage at 240 °F (116 °C), and then beating the mixture while it cools so that it acquires a smooth, creamy consistency. The product is sold in a variety of flavors, and fruits and nuts, as well as candies which are sometimes added.

Fudge lends itself to experimentation when it comes to flavors. Blending favorites or even a moment of inspiration will create a new delicious kind of fudge. Adding bits of candy, nuts, or sprinkles on National Fudge Day can bring just the right celebratory burst of excitement to an old favorite.
In the late 19th century, some shops on Mackinac Island, Michigan, began to produce similar products as the Vassar College fudge and sold it to summer vacationers. Fudge is still made in some of the original shops located on the famous island.
Three other fudge holidays entice us to celebration, too. Check out May 12th to celebrate all those nutty fudges. July 22nd marks Penuche Fudge Day. Finally, on November 20th, we celebrate Peanut Butter Fudge Day.

The actual history of fudge is foggy, but it is known that it was invented in Baltimore around the end of the 1800s. The first written document that mentions fudge was written by a student at Vassar who was explaining that her friend's cousin had made a bunch of fudge for a fundraiser and sold it for 40 cents a pound.
Paan Fudge is an innovative combination of desserts. Fudge is an American dessert and is given an Indian twist by adding paan flavor.
Typically, fudge consists of sugar, milk, and butter. But we are using condensed milk to provide sweetness in the fudge. Also, we use white chocolate instead of the regular chocolate that people use in classic fudge recipes.
This paan fudge is a quick and fuss-free recipe with a minimal number of ingredients. The light green color of the fudge goes with the name, but you can use your choice color. Or skip adding color to it; it will not compromise the taste.
If you want to shorten the time dramatically to prepare this, then mix the ingredients in a bowl and microwave it for a minute or two till it gets melted. Then refrigerate the fudge to set it.
We are using the paan flavor here. However, there can be as many variations in the flavors as you want. Mango, strawberry, black current, blueberry, and many more flavors will go just as well as the original.
Having this sweet delight is an excellent way to enjoy your vacations or serve it to your guests. It can also be a last-minute addition to your sweet food list.
National Peanut Butter Fudge Day is celebrated on November 20th
National Peanut Butter Fudge Day on November 20 is when we try our hands at making a delicious batch of fudge. There is a wide range of viable peanut butter fudge recipes to be found on the internet and elsewhere, but what they all have in common is a quick prep time (a matter of minutes, in some cases), and a short list of simple ingredients that most of us probably already have in our kitchens. As a bonus, peanut butter fudge is much easier to make than chocolate fudge, because it doesn’t involve melting the chocolate to a specific temperature measured by a special thermometer.

Fudge itself has been around since the 1880s. The widely held belief is that fudge was ‘invented’ when a European pastry chef’s preparation of a batch of caramel went awry, eliciting the exclamation of the euphemism, “Oh, fudge!” The name stuck. Some versions of the story even have the sticky batch being spilled on the floor and picked back up to minimize waste. What the fudge? In any case, peanut butter fudge is a favorite flavor for many, and the week before Thanksgiving is the perfect time to whip up a batch.
It was the National Peanut Board that first established November 20 as National Peanut Butter Fudge Day. The organization’s chairman, Bob White, said in 2015, “I’m not certain anyone knows for sure why Americans have named so many days or months for U.S.A.-grown peanuts and peanut butter. But it doesn’t surprise me that America’s favorite nut is top of mind all year long.” We can’t help but agree.
Chocolate Fudge With Fruit How to Cook Guide Recipe
CHOCOLATE FUDGE WITH FRUIT
Two cups of sugar, one-half cup of milk, one-half cup of molasses, one-half cup of butter; mix all together and boil seven minutes; add one-half cup of Chocolate and boil seven minutes longer. Then add two tablespoonfuls of figs, two tablespoonfuls of raisins, one-half a cup of English walnuts and one teaspoonful of vanilla.
Fudge is a type of sugar candy that is made by mixing sugar, butter and milk, heating it to the soft-ball stage at 240 °F (116 °C), and then beating the mixture while it cools so that it acquires a smooth, creamy consistency. Fruits, nuts, chocolate, caramel, candies, sweets and other flavors are sometimes added either inside or on top. A recent trend has been to create novel flavors of fudge, giving vibrant visual appeal at the same time.
Fudge is often bought as a gift from a gift shop in tourist areas and attractions.
History
In a letter written in 1921 by Emelyn Battersby Hartridge, she recounts the purchasing of a box of fudge for 40 cents a pound in 1886 in Baltimore, Maryland. A student at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York, she claimed to have introduced it there in 1888 by selling her own 30 lb (14 kg) batch. The diary of another student mentions making fudges in 1892. An 1893 letter from another Vassar College student describes fudges as containing sugar, chocolate, milk and butter. A recipe for Fudges at Vassar was printed in The Sun in 1895. Despite describing the confections as Vassar chocolates, the recipe given comprises sugar, milk, butter and vanilla extract.
Word of this popular confectionery spread to other women's colleges. For example, Wellesley College and Smith College have their own versions of a fudge recipe dating from the late 19th or early 20th century.Fudge-making evolved a variety of flavors and additives as it grew beyond its popularity at colleges.
Chemistry
In forming a fondant, it is not easy to keep all vibrations and seed crystals from causing rapid crystallization into large crystals. Consequently, milkfat and corn syrup are often added. Corn syrup contains glucose, fructose (monosaccharides), and maltose (disaccharide). These sugars interact with sucrose molecules. They help prevent premature crystallization by inhibiting sucrose crystal contact. The fat also helps inhibit rapid crystallization. Controlling the crystallization of the supersaturated sugar solution is the key to making smooth fudge. Initiation of crystals before the desired time will result in fudge with fewer, larger sugar grains. The final texture would then be grainy, a quality normally indicative of low-quality fudge.
One of the most important attributes of fudge is its texture. The end-point temperature separates hard caramel from fudge. The higher the peak temperature, the more sugar is dissolved and the more water is evaporated, resulting in a higher sugar-to-water ratio. Before the availability of cheap and accurate thermometers, cooks would use the ice water test, also known as the cold water test, to determine the saturation of the confection. Fudge is made at the soft ball stage, which varies by altitude and ambient humidity from 235 °F (113 °C) to 240 °F (116 °C). The heated fudge is sometimes poured onto a marble slab to be cooled and shaped.
Hot fudge
Hot fudge in the United States and Canada is usually considered to be a chocolate product often used as a topping for ice cream in a heated form, particularly sundaes and parfaits. It may also occasionally be used as a topping for s'mores. It is a thick, chocolate-flavored syrup (flavored with natural or artificial flavorings) similar in flavor and texture to chocolate fudge, except melted so that it can be poured.

On June 16th, people across the United States celebrated National Fudge Day. Just by adding creamy or crunchy peanut butter, the celebration continues. They will have the yummy taste of peanut butter as the fudge flavor and star of the show.
Fudge originated in the United States, possibly by a happy accident. In 1886, a letter written by Emelyn Bettersby Hartridge was discovered. Ms. Hartridge attended Vassar College as a student in Poughkeepsie, New York, and the letter referred to a fudge her cousin had made. Her cousin, in Baltimore Maryland, was selling the fudge for 40 cents per pound. Ms. Hartridge obtained the recipe, and in 1888, she made 30 pounds of fudge for the Vassar College Senior Auction.
In the late 19th century, some shops on Mackinac Island, Michigan, began to produce products similar to that of the Vassar College fudge and sold it to summer vacationers. Fudge is still made in some of the original shops there today.
Two other fudge holidays on the calendar are National Nutty Fudge Day on May 12th and National Penuche Fudge Day on July 22nd.
