Some people disagree about who initially conceived of this gooey-sweet treat and even the reason it is dubbed “fudge.” The United States is commonly attributed with fudge, but its precise origins remain unknown. The attribution of the invention of fudge to a letter penned by Emelyn Battersby Hartridge, a student at Vassar College, concerning her cousin or the cousin of a fellow student from Baltimore, Maryland, has been the subject of various anecdotes. This letter made reference to the fudge that the other girl had prepared and marketed at a rate of forty cents per pound. After obtaining this formula, Hartridge baked thirty pounds of it in preparation for the senior auction at Vassar College.
A youthful apprentice caramel maker was obliged to stir the caramel pot while his superior attended to clients in the front. When the supervisor returned, this pot of caramel was regrettably too grainy to serve. According to legend, they gave the “failed caramel” to the consumers in order to prevent wastage. The clientele received this dish so well that they gave it the name of the apprentice who prepared it by accident. Additionally, one account attributes the invention of this dish to a lecture. It was reported that during a college lecture in Virginia concerning the preparation of coffee, the students inadvertently produced fudge.
The term ‘fudge’ has undergone a course of development throughout the centuries. The term “fadge” originally derived from the now obsolete verb “fadge,” which meant “to make suitable” or “to fit.” Its initial usage meant “to result as anticipated” or “to merge together.” Later usage retained the verb form “fudge,” but it came to imply “to prepare in a haphazard or dishonest manner.” This resulted in the interjection “Fudge!” and ultimately the word in its current usage. Regardless of the origin of this word and the delectable delight, we are ecstatic to have it in our lives.
