Today is National Fudge Day! Fudge is a delicious confection made with sugar, milk, butter, and your favorite flavoring. Some of the most popular varieties include chocolate, peanut butter, maple, caramel, peppermint, and marshmallow.

Did you know that fudge used to be chocolate-less? Our modern-day fudge evolved from a candy called Scottish Tablet, which originated in the late 17th century. While the recipes are quite similar, Scottish Tablet has a much harder texture and lacks the most important ingredient!

To celebrate National Fudge Day, pick up your favorite type of fudge at a local chocolate shop and share it with friends and family!
