An appositive phrase is a noun or noun phrase that renames another noun right beside it. For example; Our house, a brick bungalow, is on Oak Street. a brick bungalow would be the appositive phrase. In your case: The flavors she chose were black licorice, cotton candy, and penuche, a kind of maple fudge. The sentence could have just been: The flavors she chose were a kind of maple fudge. But instead they added "black licorice, cotton candy, and penuche" Therefore that is your answer. :)
