National Peanut Butter Fudge Day

National Peanut Butter Fudge Day is on November 20th in America. This delicious holiday is a great occasion to enjoy a unique and tasty treat! There are many types of fudge – each housewife or chef prepares it according to their own recipe.

History

The creation of fudge is a matter of chance. Reports say that a European confectioner was attempting to make caramel, but instead ended up with something similar to fudge. Thus, the name stuck. Some believe that the word meant something like “deceit,” as the result was not what was intended. The cooking method for fudge varies depending on taste. It can be airy, creamy, firm, or flaky. National Peanut Butter Fudge Day was founded by an organization that studies peanuts. Bob White, the chairman of the institution, shared his joy at Americans’ excellent taste and the presence of peanuts in their diet.
