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..

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

DO TELL! Do you have a strong opinion when it comes to food and drinks made in Michigan ? If so, play along on this little game of This or That? I'll go first! Mackinac Island Fudge, paczki, and Detroit Style Pizza are no-brainers for me. I love them all and would hands down pick each one if forced to choose. The drink decision is a hard one for me though, as I don't really like either of the choices. Sorry. 😩 Growing up, Vernors was the only pop my Grandma had at her house, and she always insisted on pouring me a glass when we visited. However, I was not a fan of ginger ale and it would take me quite long to drink it, which did not get any better the longer it sat and the warmer it got. 😉 We always had Faygo in our house growing up, but flavors such as red pop, grape or rock & rye did nothing for me. Today, if a Faygo diet-cola was in the mix, that would be my choice. Shoutout to puremichigan from whom we "borrowed" this idea who played their game bracket-style in honor of March Madness. DO TELL! This or That? What are your Michigan food/drink favorites? #faygo #vernors #mackinacislandfudge #sanderscandy #paczki #pasty #detroitstylepizza #coneydog #dotell #AHPLibrary #puremichigan #librariesareforeveryone
