5 out of 5 starsI bought this fudge for my husband! He recently went vegan and has had a hard time finding delicious snacks. This definitely hit the spot we will be ordering it again soon!

5 out of 5 starsThis vegan fudge is so incredibly smooth! My husband and I have been eating it sparingly to make it last longer. Love that it tastes like the Hershey’s cookies and cream bar WITHOUT the dairy. Definitely recommend! Also, the seller was so quick to respond to any questions I had. Great experience all around!

5 out of 5 starsI love this cherry fudge! You get the bursting cherry flavor beautifully incorporated into the incredibly smooth, moist chocolate. Plus seller included a large sample of vegan cherry fudge ✨ You cannot even tell it's vegan! Delectable 🍒🍒🍒

5 out of 5 starsThis company makes the best vegan fudge!! It is super moist and flavorful. Seller was kind enough to include a generous sample of his new vegan cherry fudge ✨🍒 It is scrumptious. Highly recommend this shop for both it's vegan and traditional fudge varieties.

5 out of 5 starsTasted like heaven. Better than NJ boardwalk fudge and that is saying a lot. Quick shipping and clarified the address with me because my post office is in another town. Sadly, there is no picture to add because it is all gone! LOL

Trip to Frankenmuth to learn to cook and fold on a marble table, leaving pan fudge in the rear-view mirror.

First time learning to fold on a marble table. It was a lot harder than the experts make it look!
-
Invested in full-size candy cases, a table, and large copper kettle candy stoves!

Farmer's Markets and charity events. We still do them today

We participated in the annual Alzheimer's Association Chocolate Jubilee and were featured on Local 4.
A suggestion turns into a business
What do you do when person after person says "you should make this a business"? You take their advice and make it a business. We've been making fudge for over 10 years, and it started pretty much like everyone else's fudge - homemade in a pan using mom's recipe.
I worked at a large mortgage company as a VP of Software Development, and to lighten the mood, I would bring homemade fudge for the hundreds of IT people to share every Friday. We appropriately called this "Fudge Friday". At first, I would leave the fudge in my office - being the new person to the team and trying to learn as many faces as I could, it provided a reason for people I wouldn't typically interact with on a daily basis to stop by and talk. I met a LOT of people this way.
After some time, I saw many of the same faces and decided it was time to change it up. So - instead of putting the fudge on my desk in my office, I would find out who the newest person to the team was, put it on their desk, and email the team with a short introduction. "Meet Matt, our Fudge Friday ambassador of the week. He works on the compliance team as a software engineer. Stop by, say hello, and get some fudge!".
This went on for many months...every Friday. Over the course of a year we determined that over 250 pounds of fudge were consumed by the team - which had doubled in size to over 1000 people. Somewhere in there, a lady asked me if I had ever made it without dairy. I said no, and she provided some potential substitute ingredient suggestions. It took some time, but eventually we dialed-in our dairy-free vegan recipes and now it will knock your socks off.
Making fudge for 1000 people every week is time-consuming, and the batches were nowhere near large enough. After several trips to Mackinac Island - Michigan's Home of Fudge, we decided we needed to learn more and upgrade. We took a trip to Frankemuth - Michigan's Second Fudge Home - to learn more. We happened upon a shop where the owner agreed to spend a day cooking with us. We learned a lot and decided to invest in a 400-pound marble table and classic Savage Brother's candy stove. Our batch sizes have more than tripled, and frankly - it's still hard to keep up with all of our loyal customers.
People continued to suggest turning my passion into a business, and we finally made the leap. We started selling at farmer's markets (still do), charity events, corporate events, and today, over 90% of the fudge we sell is dairy-free and uses vegan ingredients. We're always taking suggestions for new flavors, and provide the best level of care and customer service. The dream is to one day own a brick-and-mortar location that rivals what you get on Mackinac Island. The fudge itself already does :).

I've been making fudge for over 10 years. I love the look on people's faces when they take a bite! This is the entire reason I cook - to bring happiness to others.
