I only found one word last week and it was in We Were Liars by E. Lockhart.
1. penuche – “We place a big order at Murdick’s Fudge: chocolate, chocolate walnut, peanut butter, and penuche.”
According to Wikipedia, penuche “is a fudge-like candy made from brown sugar, butter, and milk, using no flavorings except for vanilla. Penuche often has a tannish color, and is lighter than regular fudge. It is formed by the caramelization of brown sugar; thus, its flavor is said to be reminiscent of caramel.”

Penuche is new to me and it sounds divine! Great word, Kathy!
I read We Were Liars – and still had no idea what penuche is. The memory is not so stellar.
I knew penuche was a caramel like candy, but I have never tasted it. I like caramel so I would no doubt enjoy it.
Ooh We Were Liars! Penuche is new to me…sounds like a decadent treat.
That was one I didn’t look up! Thanks for doing it for me. I can’t wait to hear what you thought of We Were Liars – so well written, but I’m not sure I liked the ending.
Your new word sounds delicious.
I would not know how to ask for that stuff.
Mmm penuche
I love the smell of vanilla. I’ve heard this word. Haven’t baked with brown sugar in a long time.
Sounds like something I would like to eat for sure!
Your word is new to me, Kathy! It sounds like a wonderful treat.
Penuche–I like it. 🙂
Penuche is a staple when my dad hits the fudge shop!
Woo Hoo! I actually knew one! It’s been months.
I love penuche!
