In 1887, a chocolate candy maker moved to Mackinac (pronounced "Mackinaw") Island to work at the famous Grand Hotel. The beauty of the tiny island at the Northern end of Lake Huron captivated the candy maker, and he decided to stay.
One day a mistake was made in a chocolate fondant preparation, causing it to set up on the marble slab. The result was a "fudge" with a smooth, creamy texture, never before experienced. This new fudge candy encouraged the candy maker to develop and refine this creaming technique to form a fudge unsurpassed in excellence to this day.
The quality tradition started by the Mackinac Island candy maker is continued today at Fudge Alley. Starting with the original Mackinac Island recipe, we increased the proportions of cream and butter in our fudge, and we insist on using all natural ingredients and no preservatives.
All chocolate fudge at Fudge Alley is made with imported Dutch cocoa, for a genuine European flavor.
