nHistory of fudge
n
n
n
nThe first time the world heard about fudge may be a grocery store in Baltimore (Maryland) sold it in 1886. Apparently it was created by accident when someone was making a batch of caramels. The name fudge may have come from the mistake – it was a fudged batch of caramels.
n
n
n
n
n
nBut accidents can be delicious!
n
n
n
nA student at Vassar College (New York) got the recipe and sold fudge at an auction, and fudge became a popular Vassar College thing! And it wasn’t long before shops on Mackinac Island (Michigan) began to sell the Vassar treat.
n
n
n
nAt that point, fudge had already circulated around at least three states, and soon it became a nationwide and eventually worldwide phenomenon.
