No, chocolate and fudge are two completely different forms of confectionery. Unlike chocolate, fudge does not contain cocoa. This is the main ingredient in chocolate. Fudge will only contain cocoa if it is chocolate flavored. Another difference is their texture. While chocolate is hard, fudge is softer. Though many people get confused between chocolate and fudge, they are two very different candies. In fact, fudge is more intimately related to marshmallows than chocolate.
