Mackinac Island Fudge – The Best Fudge on Earth
While fudge was not invented on Mackinac Island, it most certainly – and most deliciously – was perfected here.
For over a century a distinguished line of candy makers on Mackinac Island have worked their magic on marble slabs and created a treat so sweet and creamy that it embodies the essence of bliss.
An enthusiastic fan recently posted on our facebook page: “the fudge from Mackinac Island is the Best Fudge on Earth“. We agree.
Mackinac island has an abundance of fudge shops that share the tradition of making delectable fudge and other sweet treats. Murdick’s Fudge… Joann’s Fudge.. Ryba’s Fudge Shops… May’s Candy Shop… Murray Hotel Fudge Shop..

there is nothing more nostalgic to me than heading up to mackinac island. this tiny island between michigan’s upper and lower peninsula is nothing but charm...mostly because it hasn’t been updated since 1985 and no motor vehicles are allowed on the island. yup! you can only get around by horse and buggies or by bike! i mean you could also walk but ehhh 😂 and no trip up to the island would be complete without grabbing as much of their world famous fudge as i can carry! what were some of your favorite vacation spots as a kid? • #murdickfudge #murdicksfudge #mackinacisland #mackinac #mackinacislandfudge #northernmichigan #puremichigan #fudge #michiganeats

Just got back from the island celebrating 8 years of marriage! We had a great time — full of non-stop wandering 🤍 I can’t wait to share all our adventures!! Starting with this one…. We, of course, always make a point of biking around the island (8.2 miles)… but this year we made a mistake 😂 it was drizzling and cold… about 62 degrees… and so, so windy… but we thought we’d be just fine biking! LOL So we grabbed a cup of coffee from our FAV (luckybean.mi) and headed off on our adventure! 🚲 About halfway around the island we were NOT okay 😂 and we were too far along to go back, so we kept pressing forward. Safe to say…. We had some STUNNING, unreal views of the beautifully foggy island…. Buuuut we’ll never bike the island against high winds and in the freezing cold rain again 🥶😂 lesson learned 😅 #loversonmackinac #mackinacisland #mackinac #mackinac_inspiration #mackinacislandlife #mackinacislandfudge #mackinacislandlove #puremichigan #michigan #mackinacisle #thegrandhotel #missionpoint #metivierinn #horses #horsesofinstagram #horsesofmackinac #horseandcarriage #mymackinac #makeitmackinac #mackinacinspiration #bikelife #biking #bikeditlikedit #bikingmackinacisland
