Fudge is an extremely rich and sweet confectionery that is made from sugar, milk, and butter. Cocoa or chocolate is often included in the list of ingredients of a fudge recipe. It is difficult to say exactly when was the first fudge made.

However, one of the first documentations of this dessert can be traced back to a letter written by Emelyn Battersby Hartridge, then a student at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York. She mentioned that fudge was made in 1886 by a schoolmate's cousin in Baltimore who sold it for 40 cents.

History of fudge indicates that it has been around for a couple of centuries now and it is its taste that has made it one of the most popular confectioneries till date.
