Pumpkin Pie Fudge The name of this dessert immediately grabbed my attention. It's pumpkin pie...in fudge form!

It's a decadent dessert available at The Fudge Bar in Quincy, MA and at their second location at Logan Airport in Boston. It's $11 a pound at the former and $12 a pound at the airport, and I have no idea why the prices are different.

There's one thing I'm not clear on though. This is "fudge," but it's pumpkin-colored. The article says that the ingredients include cinnamon, ginger, and pumpkin, but doesn't mention any fudge or chocolate. Does fudge only become fudge when their is fudge introduced, or can fudge be fudge without being chocolate-oriented? From the pic it doesn't appear that there is any "fudge" (as I know it) is included, though it looks like it has the consistency of a fudge-based dessert.

Wikipedia knows all. "Fudge is a type of confection, usually extremely rich and often flavored. It is made by boiling sugar in milk to the soft-ball stage, and then beating the mixture while it cools so that it acquires a smooth, creamy consistency." Chocolate is not required. Heating sugar and (usually) milk is.

Bob ... hence the varieties: Peanut Butter Fudge, Vanilla Fudge, Maple Fudge, etc. I suspect that Fudge, because it was most often or most popular made with chocolate, eventually became synonymous with "chocolate" and "Hot Fudge Sauce", when in fact there are many varieties. There is also this definition: "A soft rich candy made of sugar, milk, butter, and flavoring." Fudge also is used to mean someone who cheats, or is dishonest. Like using Artificial Vanilla Flavoring in their fudge, instead of Vanilla Extract. Pumpkin Pie Fudge ... that has GOT to be good.

You've really never encountered non-chocolate fudge before, Bob? It's a standard offering at tourist traps and amusement parks throughout the U.S., usually with at least half a dozen non-chocolate flavors. (Not every place that sells fudge is in a tourist trap, but you can be sure that every tourist trap will have fudge. And it's often quite good, even when one is buying it as a trapped tourist.)
