The fudge recipe from Smith College is almost like penuche.

Ingredients:

4
                                    tablespoons butter

1 cup granulated
                                    sugar

1 cup brown sugar

1/4
                                    cup molasses

1/2 cup heavy
                                    cream

2 oz. unsweetened
                                    chocolate, chopped

1 1/2 teaspoon
                                    vanilla

Combine butter, sugar, brown sugar, molasses, and heavy cream and cook over moderate heat. When this starts to boil, add the chocolate. Stir constantly. Cook until mixture reaches soft-ball stage (238 degrees). Remove from heat and add the vanilla. Cool slightly, then mix until fudge starts to thicken. Transfer to a buttered pan. Cut into squares before fudge hardens completely.
