What it is

Fudge is a type of confectionery made by boiling sugar, butter, and milk. The mixture is then cooled and beaten until it reaches a smooth, creamy consistency. Variations can include nuts, chocolate, or other flavorings.

Why it's used

Fudge is primarily used as a sweet confection or dessert ingredient. It is commonly found in candies, baked goods like cakes and brownies, and as a topping or swirl in ice cream and other frozen desserts.

Health notes

Fudge is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of sugar and fat, and typical consumption contributes to overall calorie intake. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated sugar and fat content in similar confections, but no specific health concerns are linked to fudge itself at normal consumption levels. High intake of sugars and fats can be associated with health issues.

Allergen info

Fudge often contains milk, which is one of the FDA's major allergens. Depending on the specific recipe, it may also contain other allergens like soy (from lecithin) or nuts.
