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..

I hated this recipe before I even finished it! The first step has you making what the recipe calls ‘caramel’, but is seriously lacking in specifics of temperature and texture. It just says to bring it to a boil then cook on low for 6 minutes and shows one picture of it barely boiling. I think this is where it went wrong. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize that until I’d mixed in the second set of ingredients and saw that the mixture didn’t look as thick as the picture on the website. I waited a while for it to thicken, then wrapped it in plastic wrap and put it in the fridge overnight. It never got much more firm. The texture is pretty much like a thick frosting and gets all over your fingers if you pick up a piece. I will admit, it tastes delicious and we’ve eaten a ton of it already! 😄 But I doubt I’ll try this recipe again. Let me know if you try it and have better luck! #mackinacislandfudge #mackinacisland #homemadefudge #fudge #gettingbakedwithcrystal #baking #baker #bakersofinstagram #dessert #youtube #youtuber #livestream #bakinglive #bakinglivestream

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
