Last Halloween, I was lamenting to a friend that the kids of today are not allowed to have Halloween carnivals at their school, and when they do have their “Fall Festival,” (which is not on Halloween) even though they do have a bake sale, they are not like the wonderful bake sales of my youth. Why? Because the parents are not allowed to actually bake anything, the items must be store bought with sealed plastic covers and ingredients lists (usually full of preservatives and un-pronounceable ingredients). Unfortunately, this came about because of the higher incidence of peanut allergies. When I was a kid, I never knew anyone that had a peanut allergy. Now I know a few, and they’re very serious.
Anyway, back in the day, when we would have bake sales at our Halloween Carnival at school, I always remembered the fudge! And come to think of it, I haven’t had any fudge in years.
