Fudge is a confection made by combining sugar, butter and milk, brought to a boil and then cooled and beaten until it sets into a soft, dense candy. It originated in the United States in the 19th century and became especially popular among students at American women colleges late in that century. Recipes vary by region and country, with common flavors including chocolate, vanilla, fruit, nut and caramel. Modern fudge is usually smooth in texture, the product of a careful heating and cooling process, unlike some of its earlier, coarser versions, and it is commonly sold today as a gift item in tourist shops.
