Dous makos

Dous makos is the Haitian version of fudge. This sweet dessert originates from the town of Petit-Goave and dates back to 1939, when it was invented by Fernand Macos, a Belgian entrepreneur. It is made from sugar, milk, flavorings, and colorings. Dous makos usually has three or more distinctive layers which are all colored and flavored differently. Usually, the flavors come from chocolate, cinnamon, almonds, vanilla, rum, peanut butter, or citrus peels. Before the fudge hardens, it is typically placed in rectangular molds, and it is then cut by hand into smaller pieces before consumption.
