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..

Traveling to Mackinac Island which sits between Michigan and its “Upper Peninsula” is like traveling back in time: no cars or mechanized transport are allowed on shore, it’s main harbor is filled with sail boats including those arriving on the annual Chicago Yacht Club Race, and its cobble stone streets are dotted with white picket fences, Victorian painted ladies and old timey fudge shops. And yet still, despite all these anachronistic embellishments of a bygone era, the island is still more progressive on issues of structural racism than Founders Brewing. Cheers! ✊🏽🍫🍺 #MackinacIslandFudge #KBS #beer #stoutseason #properglassware #whalezbro

My dad absolutely loved drinking coffee and every now and then I would spoil him with a cappuccino when I was free during the hectic summer months. Before he passed, it was pretty obvious to combine our famous family fudge recipe and my most popular flavored brew, Love Potion #9 together. It has become a favorite for both candy and coffee lovers alike. Available again this season at the shops and online! . . . Go to: www.mayscandyshop.com to order a slab of Love today ♥️

#MackinacIsland is a beautiful place that definitely lives up to all the hype. It’s one of Michigan’s top tourist draws, and for good reason. Visiting this lovely island, just a 20 minute ferry ride from the mainland, is like stepping back in time. Cars were banned on #Mackinac in 1898 and haven’t been allowed since, so island life revolves around horses and bicycles. #VictorianArchitecture predominates as well, making for incredible scenery at every turn. I truly loved it there. #MyMackinac #MackinacIslandLife #MackinacIsle #PureMichigan • • • • • #visitmichigan #michigantourism #travelmichigan #mackinacislandtourismbureau #mackinacislandphotographer #mackinacisle #mackinacislandmichigan #mackinacislandfudge #michigrammers #michigram #michigrammer #mittenstate #mittenstateofmind #greatlakesstate #greatlakesstateofmind #horseandbuggy #horseandcarriage #horsedrawncarriage #mackinac_inspiration #shopmackinac

So, it stopped raining here in Mackinaw, MI, so we took a day trip over to Mackinac Island to take in some of the sites and do a little shopping. We rode Sheplers Ferry over, along with Jasper and our bikes. Once there, we rode the lakeshore trail around the island to wear the dog out a bit. Then we headed downtown to stroll down the strip. We ended up getting a few souvenirs, coffee, and some fudge, of course! On the way back, the water was a little choppy, and Jasper was stressed out. No sealegs yet! He was happy to be back on shore! 🐶

Earlier this year, we brewed our 2000th batch of beer and we of course had to make it special. Inspired by Mackinac Island Fudge, Moon Pies and Sanders Bumpy Cake, each member of our team roasted a marshmallow to add to the brew. The non-barrel aged version is now on tap for your enjoyment! Batch 2000 - An Imperial Brown Ale with vanilla beans and toasted marshmallows. This ale is rich and complex with notes of coffee, graham cracker, and vanilla.

What is Mackinac Island’s biggest export? — Mackinac Island is iconic for its Victorian houses, horse drawn carts and bicycles. But what really makes the island tick, drives its economy and has secured its place in Michigan tourism, is the fudge. — This island, with only 500 residents, is home to more than a dozen fudge shops ready to serve the 1 million annual visitors. On peak summer tourist days, visitors collectively buy over 10,000 pounds of fudge per day. To keep up with this intense demand, the island imports 10 tons of sugar and 1 ton of butter every week. — #mackinacisland #mackinawcity #michigan #greatlakes #mackinacfudge #fudge #mackinacislandfudge #landscape #landscapepainting #drawing #inkdrawing #watercolor #watercolorpainting #painting #pleinair #pleinairpainting #pleinairpainter #sketchbook #art #urbansketcher #drawnthere
