What is National Peanut Butter Fudge Day?
On November 20th, peanut butter lovers and fudge lovers come together to celebrate National Peanut Butter Fudge Day.
People from around the country commemorated National Fudge Day on June 16th. The celebrations continue, whether you're adding creamy or crunchy peanut butter. They will be able to enjoy peanut butter as the show's fudge flavor and star.
Fudge is believed to have originated in the United States, perhaps by a happy chance. Emelyn Bettersby Hartridge's letter was discovered in 1886. Ms. Hartridge attended Vassar College as a student in Poughkeepsie, New York, and the letter related to a fudge her cousin made. The fudge was selling for 40 cents per pound by her cousin, who lived in Baltimore Maryland. Ms. Hartridge obtained the recipe, and in 1888, she made 30 pounds of fudge for the Vassar College Senior Auction.
Some shops on Mackinac Island, Michigan, began to produce fudge similar to that of the Vassar College fudge and sold it to summer vacationers. In some of the original shops there today, Fudge is still made.
National Nutty Fudge Day on May 12th and National Penuche Fudge Day on July 22nd are two other fudge holidays on the calendar.
