Penuche (/ p ə ˈ n u tʃ i /, from Italian: panucci) is a fudge-like candy made from brown sugar, butter, and milk, [1] using no flavorings except for vanilla. Penuche often has a tannish color, and is lighter than regular fudge. [2] It is formed by the caramelization of brown sugar; thus, its flavor is said to be reminiscent of caramel.
Fudge-making has evolved a variety of flavors and additives. The favored flavors vary by location: in the United States, chocolate is a default flavor, with peanut butter and maple as alternatives. When it is made from brown sugar, it is called penuche [2] and is typically found in New England and the Southern States.

However, The Oxford English Dictionary attests to uses in the relevant sense at least as early as 1830.
Within academic circles, the term myth is often used specifically to refer to origin and cosmogonic myths. Folklorists, for example, reserve the term myth for stories that describe creation. Stories that do not primarily focus on origins are categorized as legend or folk tale, which are distinct from myths according to folklorists. [5]
