I LOVE penuche icing!!! My grandma always made it and put it on white angel food cake. My cousins, aunts, uncles, and I would always fight over who got to lick the spoon. I also had a habit of taking a piece of the cake, eating just the icing, and then giving the rest of the cake to my dad. Oh, the sacrifices parents make for their children. ;-)
ReplyDeleteNo one else ever knows what I am talking about when I mention it though, so I am glad to see this post!
OMG! I love penuche fudge, can't wait to try this recipe.
ReplyDeletewhat kind of cake besides angel food would this be good on? I truly have no idea.
ReplyDeleteI have to say when I tried this last night it didn't turn out quite right. Is anything missing? Any hints to make it work a bit better?
ReplyDeleteOh wow. Yum yum YUM!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLooks divine but I'm at a complete loss on how to pronounce "penuche". LOL!
ReplyDeletemade this today and i can't stop eating it. i'm eating like candy. it is so good.
ReplyDeleteWe made the icing and spread it into a greased pan to cool for penuche fudge without the nuts. It was delightful but is almost gone after two days in our house!
ReplyDeleteAstrid, I've always heard it pronounced puh-NOO-chee.
Penuche icing is awesome. Slap it on some spice cupcakes. Mmmmmm....
