Chocolate Fudge
October 12, 2011
Whenever we hear the word "fudge", the soft chocolate squares we all love suddenly come into mind.
Chocolate fudge was reputably invented by an American confectioner in Baltimore, Maryland who mixed soft chocolate with caramel by accident and the rest, as they say, is history. Some people beg to disagree though as they strongly believe that fudge was a British invention. According to them, there are some variations of fudge found in the British midlands and Scotland. Nevertheless, even the best of the best British confectioners admit that chocolate fudge is indeed an American invention.
Fudge can be used both as a main or auxiliary ingredient in certain confections such as fudge-filled candies, fudge-filled cakes as well as cakes made with fudge, among so many other mouthwatering desserts.
Whether you are a chocoholic or simply enjoy chocolate, chocolate fudge can surely make for a good chocolaty treat.
