Biscoff Cookie Marshmallow and Pecan Fudge
Biscoff Cookie Marshmallow and Pecan Fudge – an amazing cross-section between SUPER EASY and OMG DELICIOUS –ย combining the best of Rocky Road Fudge, Samoa Fudge, and S’mores Fudge … You’ll be saying… What the FUDGE?
Traditional fudge is a creamy yet dense, rich, candy confection made with chocolate butter, sugar, and milk or cream.ย The mix is cooked together and blended into a soft smooth texture.
Where did Fudge get it’s start?
There are many early origin stories, but the earliest written evidence of fudge was in a letter written by Emelyn Bettersby Hartidge, a Vassar college student, in 1886.ย The letter talks about fudge being sold for 40cents per pound- a hefty price in the day!ย Emelyn got a copy of the recipe and started selling it herself, and by the end of the 1880’s fudge shops started appearing everywhere.
Fudge became immediately popular in tourist towns.ย These vacation fudge shops are still a popular tradition today.ย ย Mackinac Island, in Northern Michigan, is the self-proclaimed “Fudge Capital of America”.ย This small summer vacation island has more than a dozen fudge shops.ย Their fudge-loving tourists areย affectionately called “fudgies”.
Holidays also became a great reason for fudge.ย Even in the late 1800s, fudge to made it to Christmas tables, an extravagance for a special time of year – and the tradition stuck.
As with many recipes, candy makers invented different versions, and fudge kept getting easier to make.ย Earlier innovations included substitutions like corn syrup and sweetened condensed milk.ย Today, delicious fudge can be made simply and fast- no tempering – no double-boiling.ย You can achieve Chocolatey decadence in less then 15 minutes.
