penuche (puh-NOO-chee) - n., a fudge made with brown sugar, butter, and milk, usually with nuts.


No chocolate, sometimes vanilla, and in New England, they sometimes add maple syrup. This is a US regional thing -- called this mainly in New England and the Midwest, though sometimes also the far west (and Hawaii), though there is it more likely to be called panocha, because we often stick closer to our Spanish sources, closer to Mexico: from Mexican Spanish panocha raw sugar, from Spanish, ear of maize, ultimately from Latin panicula, diminutive of pan, (loaf of) bread.
