Hello Friend!

Welcome to our new online home! We are certainly the small Ohio based company but we produce in both Ohio and Michigan. YES we are the chocolate shop that you have heard about, the one with *THE* BEST FUDGE and amazing homemade, hand dipped gourmet chocolates! We proudly make our delicious regular candies without preservatives and we even have a great line of SUGAR FREE goodies that are always a hit! No after taste like most sugar free.

Hi everyone, I'm Kelly. Some might say the" Diva" but I don't really think that's true. I am married with an awesome husband who supports everything I do. I have three incredible children and 3 and grand children that light up my world. I have been making candy and baking for over 25 years. It fulfills my need for creativity and chocolate always make people happy. I love to see the way friends, family and customers eyes light up when they see their favorite candy. Who doesn't like to make people happy? Enough about me, now more about the candy and fudge. We are just putting our site together so check back as we will soon be adding photos and pricing.

Happy spring everyone, It is so great to see the flowers popping up and trees blooming but as we get further into spring we are developing new recipes  all the time. We currently have 17 kinds of fudge available with some being seasonal. We are also working on more varieties without nuts for all my friends with allergies. Our newest flavors are Cherry Vanilla, Lemon Chiffon, and for the "Manly Men" we have a new twist..... Yes, we have Maple Bacon. It has been a big hit! It is the perfect combination of sweet and salty all in one bite. Yum, You have to sample this one. Every one know that if you see me at a show or festival I always have samples. So.... you may ask what makes my fudge so great? I'm going to tell you. Number 1 is a lot of LOVE! Number 2 is great recipes.  My fudge is very creamy (not sugary or gritty) It is NOT overly sweet like most fudge. Like any good recipe, there is nice balance of flavor. Most fudge is so sweet that sugar is the first thing you taste. Not with our fudge. We recently had a customer that worked 15 years for.... well you know, that place on the other side of the bridge. He said he was an expert! So he started taste testing to give me his opinion. He was stunned at the flavor and the incredible creamy texture. Mr. Expert said he had to admit our fudge beat the Mackinaw Island Fudge any day of the week. I say let the people decide! So thank you to all of our customers that continue to support us through out the year.
