What does FUDGY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informal
Having the soft, rich texture and flavor of fudge.
Fudgy describes a dessert that stays dense and slightly underset in the middle, the way a candy bar of fudge does, rather than baking up light or crumbly. Bakers reach for the word to distinguish a brownie that stays gooey at the centre from one that turns out cakey and dry. The word points mainly at how a bite feels and pulls apart, not just at sweetness, so a chocolate cake can be sweet without ever being called fudgy. Recipe writers use fudgy as shorthand for exactly that dense, chocolatey result home bakers are chasing.
