Every day provides us with opportunities to celebrate. Today I invite you to celebrate sweet treat, fudge! Fudge came into being by accident, hence the name fudge.

Homemade Peanut Butter Fudge

A SWEET MISTAKE
Fudge the treat we know today,
came into being in an unusual way.
In approximately 1886,
caramel was being mixed,
While applying heat,
to create this treat.
The temperature is key,
it needs a certain degree.
It has to do with sugar breaking down,
and recrystallizing during cooldown.
when you under heat,
fudge is the resulting treat.
Instead of frowning at the mistake,
the candy maker decided to partake,
to their delight,
it tasted just right.
A new confection was born,
thanks to a candy maker’s lack of scorn.
