Caramel Fudge

Caramel fudge is a confection made from sugar, butter, and milk or cream, cooked until it reaches a soft, fudgy consistency. It often contains added flavorings like vanilla or chocolate, and sometimes nuts. The cooking process involves careful temperature control to achieve the desired texture.

Caramel fudge is primarily used as a sweet confection and flavoring ingredient. It is commonly found in ice cream, cakes, cupcakes, and other baked goods, where it adds a rich, sweet, and slightly chewy texture. Manufacturers use it to enhance the flavor and mouthfeel of desserts.

Caramel fudge is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA as a food ingredient. It is a source of sugar and calories. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar sugar-based confections. While high sugar intake is linked to health concerns, caramel fudge at typical consumption levels in foods is not specifically regulated beyond general food safety standards.
