National Fudge Day
June 16
What is National Fudge Day?
June 16th is National Fudge Day, a sweet excuse to indulge (not that you needed one!) This day is dedicated to that smooth, creamy, melt-in-your-mouth treat we all know and love—fudge.
Fudge is a soft, dense candy made from sugar, butter, milk (or cream), cooked together to create that perfectly creamy texture.
Fudge dates back to the late 1800s in the United States, and like many great inventions… it may have been a happy accident.
Someone supposedly “fudged” a batch of caramel—and boom, fudge was born.
