First, let’s talk about nuts.
Of course, before diving into our recipe, let’s talk about the health benefits of nuts.
According to Mayo Clinic, nuts are good for our hearts, literally. Eating nuts as part of a healthy diet may be good for the heart.
Nuts contain unsaturated fatty acids and other nutrients.
What to know about fudge
According to www.cocopotamus.com, fudge was invented in America.
On Valentine’s Day, 1886, a confectioner and chocolate maker in Baltimore, Maryland “fudged” a batch of French caramels.
The delicious result? The very first batch of “fudge” ever. In France, they say that caramel and fudge are “cousins”. Fudge is also similar to French fondant candy.
