Rejoice, for another candy debate cometh!

Hi,

I've just finished reading CoS and found an intriguing and 
wonderfully unimportant discrepancy (well, intriguing may be putting 
it too high.. but after the lemon drop-sherbet-boiled-sweet debate - 
which interested me! - I'm confident the obsessiveness level here is 
quite high enough to suck this candy dry too!)

Anyway, here it is:
On page 88 (British edition) of CoS Hagrid offers "a plate of treacle 
*fudge*". Then on the next page Harry can't talk because "Hagrid's 
treacle *toffee* has cemented his jaws together" and (p. 90) Hagrid 
offers Ron some treacle *toffee*, while on page 91 it says that Harry 
was hungry since he "only had one bit of treacle *fudge* since dawn." 
To complicate matters, on page 159 Harry receives "a large tin of 
treacle fudge, which Harry decided to soften by the fire before 
eating." 

Now, I've eaten fudge and I've eaten toffee and, a) they're 
different, and b) only toffee can make your teeth stick together. So, 
is there a deep, dark mystery here (for instance, have we discovered 
that Brits call toffee fudge?) or is it just a simple, uninteresting 
editorial mistake?
