About our Fudge
Our fudge recipe has been passed down from generation to
generation, dating back to the late 1800s. We use an old
fashioned copper pot heated over a gas burning stove to
mix our 25 pound batches, using only all natural ingredients.
The ingredients are boiled and then poured onto one of our
750 pound Vermont marble tables. Once the fudge has cooled
sufficiently, a large paddle is used to “cream”
the fudge. The “creaming” process continues
to cool the fudge, but, most importantly, the “creaming”
breaks down the sugars in the fudge so that the resulting
fudge is creamy in texture. As the fudge cools and thickens,
a smaller spatula is used to form the fudge into a long
loaf. Finally, the fudge is hand sliced into quantities
of approximately 1/3 to 1/2 of a pound, and is ready to
enjoy.
Remarkably, our fudge does not melt when left in a full
slice. This is true primarily for 2 reasons. First, we use
a heavy cream in place of butter. Second, we slice the fudge
while it is still warm so that each slice cools to form
a harder, protective shell. Therefore, we can ship our fudge
within the continental United States throughout the year.
We make many different flavors of fudge, and are constantly
experimenting with new flavors. We currently make the following
