Creamy buttery sweetness that melts in your mouth!  You’ll want to keep this Penuche Fudge recipe handy as the season of gift giving approaches!

Penuche Fudge

A few weeks ago I shared a treasured family recipe for {Memere’s} Sucre a la Creme.  It was Dad’s childhood favorite treat.

At some point over time some of my family started calling it Penuche Fudge.  While the ingredients are similar they really have quite different textures so I decided to make a batch of both.

{Memere’s} Sucre a la Creme is harder and more brittle and Penuche Fudge is soft and creamy.

Both are equally delicious and Dad said the only thing that would make either of them better is if I added some walnuts to the recipe.

Dad loves walnuts in his brownies, fudge, ice cream and pretty much any other sweet treat you can think of.

The big problem though is that my sister is deathly allergic to them!

I knew she was going to want some fudge so unfortunately Dad lost out this time.  However,  it’s so easy to make he will be getting his favorite version soon!

Ingredients

  • 1/4 Cup + 1 teaspoon Unsalted butter ,seperated

Instructions

  • Line a 9-in.-square pan with aluminum foil; grease foil with 1 teaspoon butter.
