The 16th of June is Fudge Day.
Treat yourself today to fudge in some form: either straight up, or in fudge cookies or fudge cake, or as a hot fudge sauce on ice cream.
What’s your favourite flavour of fudge?
Do you like it with nuts, or without, and if with, then what kind of nuts?
Some fudge places today will offer specials, such as discounts or free pieces of fudge.
