Mackinac Island Fudge

Mackinac Island fudge is rich, soft, and creamy and can be purchased at any of the wonderful fudge shops on the Island.

For years, tourists have affectionately been called “fudgies” but
truthfully, even long-time Island residents qualify as “fudgies” because
they love the fudge too!

The question that has never been
answered is “who makes the best fudge?” Only you can decide! Try all
the shops and come to your own conclusion! What a yummy way to spend
some vacation time.

Here is the list of shops. If you can’t visit Mackinac Island, call
these shops and place an order. You can do your taste-testing from home
as they ship their treats world wide.

The Mackinac Island Fudge Festival takes place every August. In
Willie Wonka fashion, five golden tickets are randomly placed in boxes
of candy at various fudge shops.

The lucky golden ticket holders win a
two night stay for four including four ferry tickets, four tickets for a

Butterfly Conservatory! What fun, to eat fudge in search of a golden
ticket!
