Data from: From panocha to fudge: Mexican roots of an American candy

• Although the origins of the popular candy called fudge have been traced to American industrial processed foods of the 1880s, an early version known as panochita de leche was made in eighteenth-century Mexico using only rustic brown sugar and milk. This collection recapitulates manuscript and published cookbook recipes of this confection used as data in an associated publication.
