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.

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.

It absolutely is American. No recipes for fudge came out of England in the 1700s or after. The closest thing to a fudge in Europe was Tablet and that's being generous since the texture and flavor is completely different. Take the L and move on Limey

@jcs3330 4 minutes ago (edited) Lived in Greenwich visiting the market on regular occasions. Fudge has always been my 'go-to' confectionary of choice over any other since I was a child. (I have always liked fudge, toffee and caramel tasting types of confectionary hence the liking of fudge. We know that sugar is one of the main ingredients, hence so many examples in stores or marketed has 'handmade' or "exclusive quality fudge" etc, seem to fail. (including those fudge makers who make it on site in front of you and that which is sold in exclusive stores etc). In the years of occasionally treating myself I have only ever found 4 fudge makers that have mastered this incredibly difficult taste balance. Two being handmade in and two being what fudge makers call 'processed fudge' (ironically being much better then the majority that claim to be/or are 'original, handmade or with top quality ingredients". As said, to get a fudge that 'traditionally' contains so much sugar yet does not taste overly sweet or sickly is quite a difficult achievement, and I have sampled a lot of so-called 'artisan' fudge makers which fail this 'ideal' balance and produce highly sweet fudge
