OpenStudy (mathmate):

This construction is also called "in apposition". "An appositive is a noun or noun phrase that renames another noun right beside it. The appositive can be a short or long combination of words. Look at these appositive examples, all of which rename insect: The insect, a wingspanroach, is crawling across the kitchen table." [chompchomp.com] The appositive/appositive phrase must be separated from the noun it renames and the rest of the sentence by commas. Here "a kind of fudge" redefines/describes the word "penuche", so it is the appositive phrase.
