Fudge is a type of confection made from sugar, milk and butter. The sugar is heated to the soft-ball stage 116 °C (240 °F) and then beating the mixture whilst it cools. The end product is soft, rich and sweet. Modern American-style fudge probably originated in the United States in the late 19th century, and had chocolate added to the mixture. There are other similar confections, such as Scots tablet.
Other ingredients may also be added to the mixture; in this case, nuts are added. There are many different types of nuts that can be added to fudge, but they will usually be chopped, rather than whole, and this includes many culinary nuts which are not true botanical nuts. Some common nuts would be peanuts, walnuts, pecans and almonds, which could be added individually or mixed together.
