Mackinac Island’s Original Murdick’s Fudge Celebrates 133rd Birthday

July 26, 2020

Mackinac Island’s Original Murdick’s Fudge Celebrates OVER 13 DELICIOUS DECADES Making the Sweetest Treat on Earth 133rd Birthday on Monday, July 27th 2020

First 133 Customers to Visit the Original Fudge Shop Location on Main Street Mackinac Island Will Receive a FREE Slice of the Most Popular Double Chocolate Fudge with Purchase of Five Slice Commemorative Box Or Visit the Virtual Fudge Shop to Receive the Same Free Slice Deal

(Mackinac Island, Michigan) July 18, 2020 – Mackinac Island, Michigan is known for its beauty and historic prowess, but the fresh water island is also known for its fudge, making Mackinac Island the Fudge Capital of the World!

Mackinac Island’s original fudge shop, which began in 1887, is celebrating 133 years of making the sweet treat this season.  In celebration of this landmark birthday on Monday, July 27th the first 133 Customers to visit the Original Fudge Shop located on the Island’s Main Street will receive a FREE Slice of the most popular fudge flavor – Double Chocolate Fudge with the purchase of the five slice commemorative box.

Original Murdick’s Fudge is proud to have served up the sweetest treat on earth, made each day in its historic white clapboard fudge shops for over 13 Delicious Decades.

If fudge lovers can’t find their way to America’s freshwater Island – Mackinac Island, they can visit the ‘Virtual Fudge Shop’ at www.OriginalMurdicksFudge.com and receive a FREE SLICE of Double Chocolate with the purchase online of the commemorative FIVE Slice box.  The box and free slice birthday deal begins Monday, July 20 and runs through July 31st.

Fudge makers hand-craft dozens of flavors including the original six flavors for visitors from near and far. Original Murdick’s Fudge is made with only the freshest, all natural ingredients, most from Michigan including the sugar, butter, and cream.  In-fact, Original Murdick’s Fudge is the only certified Pure Michigan Fudge because the majority of the ingredients are sourced in Michigan. Each and every box of OMF proudly dons the Pure Michigan logo.

Mackinac Island and fudge – the place and the product have been inextricably linked for years. Along with riding bikes, taking a carriage tour and visiting the Fort, buying a box of fudge has been made a ‘must-do” Mackinac Island tradition.  Because of fudge ‘pioneers’ like the Murdick family, the style of fudge made on Mackinac Island has become iconic nationally.

Each batch of Original Murdick’s Fudge starts in a copper kettle and is painstakingly created with attention to indoor, outdoor and marble countertop temperatures, and length of time paired with the proper temperature required for cooking, boiling, stirring, cooling and shaping. The art of fudge making at Murdick’s also requires skilled professionals to perform a specific and timely turn-of-the-wrist “paddling” technique when shaping the delectable fudge into loaves.

Blend a tried-and-true recipe with handcrafted, precise techniques — along with a temperate Great Lakes climate — and you get pure excellence.
