This fudge recipe has been shared around the world. You'll never guess where it came from
Some cemeteries are only busy on holidays, like Memorial Day, or visited on birthdays or anniversaries.
Kathryn Andrews' headstone in Utah gets attention year-round, all thanks to a fudge recipe.
Andrews' daughter, Janice Johnson, told KSTU that her mother was known for her poetry and her fudge. But no one ever expected her recipe to reach so far.
"We've looked online and I guess it's gone even to Europe," Johnson told the news station.
Johnson explained the story behind the recipe.
Andrews, who grew up in Salt Lake City, went to New York City to study fashion design. She eventually met her husband, Air Force Capt. Wade Andrews.
"He was waiting to fly out to go into World War II," Johnson explained, showing a photo of the couple's only date in New York City: dinner at the Waldorf Astoria. "As soon as he arrived back in Salt Lake, he took a diamond and took her to the Capitol steps and gave her the diamond, and they were married eighteen days later."
Johnson is one five children. When her father passed in 2000, several symbols from his life were on his headstone, including his World War II plane.
"He was really proud of his flight record because all the men flew with him made it back safely," Johnson said.
For Andrews, her fudge recipe was incorporated into her final resting place.
Johnson said her mother came up with the idea to include the fudge recipe on her headstone and would likely find it funny that it's been shared so many times.
