Today's Reason to Celebrate

November 20, 2009 was

National Peanut Butter Fudge Day

Peanut butter has been a staple of U.S. families for more than a century. It can be served plain, in a sandwhich, mixed with ice cream, combined with chocolate, or as fudge! Peanut butter fudge is a divine treat for anybody who loves peanut butter.

One claim of origin for this dessert dates back to the 1800s when people used the word "fudge" to mean "cheat" or "mess up." One day, a chef accidently "fudged" a batch of caramel he was trying to make, thus inventing fudge as we know and love it today. 

Fudge is now made is many heavenly flavors, including the rich peanut butter variety. In celebration of the flavor of National Peanut Butter Fudge Day, try your hand at making some today!
