Sweet yummy goopy fudge is a confection that is sold by the pound and even though it is often very rich and can only be eaten in small amounts it never seems to last very long. Enjoyable anytime fudge is especially popular as a gift giving item around the holidays. Memories of eating and enjoying the sweet confection that is fudge bring back a flood of happy childhood times spent with family and good friends.
Whenever they would travel on vacation my parents would manage to find a local confectionery store and inevitably purchase a half pound of fudge that was shared with family members. Sometimes there were two or three flavored fudge varieties that were eagerly passed around and everyone was watching one another to make sure that each piece of fudge that was taken was similar in size to the piece of fudge that the previous person had taken.
On a trip to Southern California it appeared that my parents were more interested in the fudge for sale at the general store than they were at wondering around the tourist filled ghost town that once played host to miners searching for gold in the hills surrounding the abandoned town. One of the favorite flavors of the sweet fudge was raspberry that was marbled into the dark chocolate richness of the fudge. It may have been years ago, but the memory of the delicious confection still makes me drool. No matter what the occasion, fudge adds to the joy and memories of any special day.
