What it is

Fudge pieces are small chunks of fudge, a confection made from sugar, butter, and milk. They are typically created by cooking these ingredients together until they reach the soft-ball stage, then cooling and cutting them into bite-sized pieces. The texture can range from soft and chewy to firm and crumbly.

Why it's used

Fudge pieces are added to foods to provide a rich chocolate flavor and a chewy or fudgy texture. They are most commonly found in ice cream, frozen yogurt, and other frozen desserts. They can also be incorporated into baked goods like cookies and brownies or used as a topping.

Health notes

Fudge pieces are primarily a source of sugar and fat. The FDA considers sugar to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) when used for its intended purpose. While high sugar intake is linked to various health concerns by health organizations, moderate consumption as part of a balanced diet is generally not considered problematic. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many individual sugar and fat components used in fudge.

Allergen info

Fudge pieces may contain milk and soy, depending on the ingredients used in their preparation. They are not derived from fish, shellfish, eggs, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, or sesame. Gluten is typically not present unless wheat-derived ingredients are added.
