The Continuing Fudge Project....

I've been doing research and I have some results. I have tried a few new kinds of fudge, and they were good. I tried the Bear Claw at Kilwin's, where I took this picture of someone making caramel corn drizzled with chocolate, (Yum!) and it was very good. It was chocolate with cashews in it, topped with a ribbon of caramel. It wasn't as good as my current #1, Peanut Butter, but it was a contender! I'll continue the research and let you know more at a later date.

Fudge!

One of the specialties of Petoskey is fudge! (Here in town the tourists are actually called "fudgies" by the locals. Endearingly, of course!) This is a picture of the workers at Murdick's Fudge downtown making the delectable treat. It is a multi-step process, and right now is being poured onto a marble topped table to cool before being turned and shaped with a paddle, which gives it the proper crystalline structure as well as its distinctive shape. It is a very yummy way to remember Petoskey and a great gift for those who haven't been lucky enough to visit here. You can buy it at Murdick's Fudge as well as at Kilwin's which is right across the street. I don't have a favorite yet, but it sounds like I need to do more research! I'll have to give you another picture when I have completed this research project to my satisfaction. (I have heard that the chocolate with dried cherries is very good...I'll let you know!)
