  • Our appetite for fudge dates back more than a century, when someone making candy allegedly "fudged" a recipe, and a chocolate staple was born. Correspondent Faith Salie visits northern Michigan, home to the "Fudge Capital of America," where more than a dozen fudge shops each makes, at their peak, more than three thousand pounds of fudge a week.

    My college freshman chemistry professor used fudge as an example of the chemical principal of "Supersaturation ". And YES he made delicious fudge for the class to taste.

    Mackinac Island has fudge but so much more. The waters of Huron, the gentle plod of horses, no cars, wonderful bike routes, fabulous history, beautiful sunsets and quaint as well as large accomodations.
    One of my favorite places of all time

    My mom made a tradition of making fudge any day we had 2” or more of snow (in MN & SD). My BIL watched 40 miles away, and drove my sister into town when it snowed. One of our best memories.

    I liked the fudge my mom made. She used the Hershey’s Cocoa recipe, using a cast iron pot to cook the concoction. It had to be made when it was cool/cold and the humidity was low. Bringing the pot outside at right moment to help it “set” was crucial. I truly miss it.

    Vassar was once a Presbyterian faith based school.
    Sugar was seen as a Sin, as was Chocolate, Soda, and Pastries.
    Women were expected to keep slim for their man.

    Nice story however you left out a very important fact. The ideal latitude and atmospheric conditions on Mackinac Island is the greatest contributor to the successful production of fudge. It is at this lattitude, and at the analogous one in the southern hemisphere, that defines this zone as the "fudge belt" and it so happens that Mackinac Island is at its epicenter along with many other ideal locations throughout the belt.
