Panuche

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Panuche or Panocha is a fudge like confection. It consists of brown sugar and whole milk or light cream mixed and boiled to the soft-ball stage. It is then cooled and nuts, dried fruit or marshmallows are mixed in and spread in a flat pan.

One variation substitutes strong coffee for the milk or cream.

The name Panocha is a variation of Panela, a name for raw sugar in South America.
