Fudge: it is rich, creamy, delicious, and you love it. But do you know where it comes from? When was the first batch of fudge ever created? And who created it?
The Delicious History of Fudge
Unlike many of your other favorite candies and treats, fudge is a relatively new product, dating back to just the 1880s. In fact, one of the first recorded mentions of fudge was in a letter written by Emelyn Battersby Hartridge, a student at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York, in 1886. Hartridge wrote about a classmate’s cousin who made fudge in Baltimore, Maryland.
The exact origin and inventor of this delicious confection are hotly debated. However, many believe the first batch of fudge was created by accident when American bakers “fudged” a batch of caramels. Hence the name “fudge.”
The mystery of how fudge first came to be made may never be solved. But one thing is for sure: it sure is delicious!
