While we’re still fully aboard the fudge train, making a point to try out as many varieties of the stuff as we can get our hands on, there’s a slightly different version, a cousin to fudge, if you will, that we came across the other day. Penuche (pronounced: “peh-noo-chee”) is visibly similar to fudge, but it’s slightly lighter, because it’s made with milk instead of heavy cream. Plus, it primarily uses brown sugar instead of white sugar, which gives it a rounder, more caramel or toffee-esque flavor that is absolutely addictive.
