My favorite fudge was a Welches Fudge bar... I don't think they are
sold anymore. When I was very young my uncle sold them at his grocery
store in the southern Catskills, Woodridge, and I'd steal lots of
them, at five years old I couldn't resist that chocolately goodness,
of course his son Robby, my cousin couldn't resist either. We'd both
pig out on candy from the store. One day we both pigged out on
butter, we each ate an entire 1/4 pound stick of butter and boy did we
get sick.

When we got older Robby (Robert) turned from being a best friend to
being a shit... I haven't spoken to him in over 60 years, we're both
close to eighty he could be dead for all I know.
