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?

Mackinac Island, an island located in Lake Huron in the state of Michigan, was named Mishimikinaak in Ojibwe by the Anishinaabe. The British constructed a fort there during the Revolutionary War and the island became a part of the US in 1815.
These days, Mackinac Island is home to 584 year-round residents, bans motor vehicles (except for emergency vehicles) and in 2022, was named by Travel and Leisure ‘The Best Island in the Continental US to Visit.’
One reason for that is Mackinac Island Fudge. There are over 5 tons of fudge produced every day at the height of tourist season on this island, The Fudge Capital of the World!
In the 1800s, Rome Murdick opened a candy shop, where he would pour the warm fudge onto marble slabs to cool as he used a trowel to shape it in front of a window so that customers could watch. Other shops opened and would compete for customers with the best showmanship and by wafting the smell of fudge and vanilla out to the street using fans.
