‘Tis the season for sweets-lovers and this penuche recipe from pastry chef Ashley Low covers all the bases. A mix between fudge and caramel, the dessert comes together quickly—simply stir up your ingredients then give them a spin in the electric mixer. After the penuche cools, you can slice it however you life for easy gift bags (sneaking a few pieces for yourself, of course.)
