We had a great time visiting Frankenmuth Fudge Kitchen! Always love watching fresh fudge being made right in front of us, it's super satisfying and makes the whole place smell incredible. We tried a few samples, picked up a couple pieces, and everything was delicious. The Snickerdoodle fudge was our absolute favourite; sweet, creamy, and perfectly spiced. Highly recommend stopping in if you're visiting Frankenmuth! For more travel and food reviews, check out our YouTube channel -- A&M Roam! read more

Their vanilla fudge is the best and I honestly will make a trip just to get that. So quaint and the service is unbeatable read more

Frankenmuth Fudge Kitchen - The counter - Candy Stores Near Me - Frankenmuth, Michigan

Why is it we all become little kids again when they pour and mold the fudge? That's what this place is all about. Reverting back to our childhood and basking in the world of fudgemania! Free samples are available. Like we really need them. lol. Buy three pieces, get one free. There goes my willpower to buy just one. They offer sugar free fudge, dairy free/vegan fudge and even holiday flavours. For us the decision was easy. Mint Meltaway, Cherry, Chocolate PB and Snickerdoodle. It may be a tiny shop, but it's wall to wall aroma and yumminess. The workers are friendly and it's located in the middle of the Frankenmuth stroll. 11/24 read more

Frankenmuth Fudge Kitchen is smart. I liked that they set up their store to create an experience while also accommodating large crowds. On the day of our visit, the candy maker demonstrated the fudge-making process. Even though tens of millions of Americans make fudge at home, crowds still gathered to see the magical process of transforming ingredients into a large loaf of fudge. Opposite and adjacent to the fudge-making operation, there were four (maybe six) stations where fudge was being sold, so the undecided did not have to hold up the decided. I went with the turtle, chocolate fudge laced with pecans and caramel, and salted caramel cashew. In retrospect, they were too alike: fudge with caramel and a nut. I should have gone with the cherry fudge, mint, or raspberry chocolate. There were also sugar-free and vegan options. Note that at the time of the visit, if you purchased three, you can get the fourth one free. Service was fine. As I mentioned, the store was set up to expedite the purchase process - something I appreciated. read more

Another great stop on the Frankenmuth trail for Christmas. This one is just like the old-fashioned fudge stores ... a kitchen where they have a big marble slab on which they finalize the fudge, rowing it back and forth across the cooling surface. Fun to watch. It was nice to see the process for making fudge ... it made it an experience for the family. They had a number of selections of fresh fudge, four of which we tried (hint: buy three, get the fourth free) ... chocolate, peanut butter, chocolate raspberry, and Andes mint. These were lush treats ... I'm the chocolate fan, but I have to admit the Andes mint was also a winner. All get 4 stars for delish. For those that want less sugar, they also offer sugar-free ... but that is like an oxymoron to me ... you can't really savor real good fudge without it having sugar ... JMHO. Anyway, neat place, neat fudge-making experience, recommended for the whole family. read more

Wow it is so peaceful on a week day at the Fudge Kitchen. We walked in and only one other person was in line. We got to sample a few flavors to see what we wanted. They charge about $10 per brick which varies depending on the weight. If you buy 3 you get one free. I came with my husband and father in law, so we decided to buy 3 of them to get the deal. They were all delicious. They do give you a few wooden knives to cut them. They also have a card that explains you have to keep them room temperature and to not put them in the fridge. You can freeze them for up to a year. They will last about 3 weeks at room temperature. I really suggest coming on a week day. We came Friday and it was a great experience. read more

I love that they have a selection of vegan fudge. The atmosphere is fun. The line moves fast. They have demonstrations.

Great place to watch fudge being made! It's defiantly a stop in place- a must see. Don't forget to sample the fudge before making up your mind- the samples are the best way to know what fudge taste best before you buy! They also had some good taffy! read more

First...I never buy fudge...until I visit this fudge shop. The guys making the fudge were informative and friendly. Interacted and answered all our questions about the craft of fudge making. Had some good sample bites and we decided to grab a block for our family get-together that week. Lots of selection and a good stop while in Frankenmuth read more

The smells of sweet deliciousness will great you when you enter this beautiful shop! We watched them make fudge & it tasted as good as it smelled. $9.50 for a slice, they weigh them. Kinda pricey, but a sweet treat! read more

Very friendly staff. Excellent fudge. My wife loved the turtle. Nice atmosphere. The insulated bag was great for taking frozen pasties home.

I am shocked I haven't reviewed Frankenmuth Fudge Kitchen sooner! My family has stopped here on our annual trip to Frankenmuth for as long as I can remember. If you're lucky you can always watch the employees make the fudge, which is really cool! This fudge shop offers plenty of options for everyone. My go-to is salted caramel cashew or rocky road. There's plenty of space to check out all the flavor offerings. They used to offer samples, but I'm unsure if that's a thing thanks to the pandemic. Everyone here has always been kind. If you buy 3 slices of fudge you can get one free. The total is around $21 or so. Great deal! Fudge also doesn't melt so you don't have to worry about that! Stop in today! read more

What a fun fudge store. The time that we walked in, they were in the process of making 1 fudge and a out to start another. It was a fun process to watch and the fudge makers were so helpful at answering any questions people had. We got 2 different flavors to take home and they were pretty good even when we had them a couple of days later. read more

Frankenmuth Fudge Kitchen - the outside of a restaurant - Candy Stores Near Me - Frankenmuth, Michigan

Wow! I bought 4 different types of fudge. They were all delicious! When we walked in, a man was making some, and it smelled so good. The shop was real cute with so many items to choose from. read more

Watch it made before your eyes, don one of their free caps and get a free sample (generous portion)! That sums up my encounter here. We walked in as a large batch of caramel infused chocolate fudge was being molded on the cold slab of marble. It's fascinating to see this process done by hand and equally impressive is the vast variety of fudge concoctions produced inhouse. I think we spent nearly 15-minutes just watching the man shape and trim the huge log. I was content with watching but when he offered my family samples we all said yes. So rich, so chocolatey, so decadent and heavy. I can't really eat this stuff anymore but if I was to buy someone something special I'd consider coming here. read more

Staff was not friendly in any way. The one guy that makes the fudge was somewhat nice. I felt like I was inconveniencing them the whole time I was in there and they were dead. I ordered a half pound of fudge in which the person working there gave me some old piece of wrapped fudge that was dryer than my Great Grandma's pot roast. My whole family thought the fudge was awful. I guess I learned a lesson to ask for the fresh stuff because I did not get a full slab. Staff lacked energy which hurt the overall feel of the place. My family and I all agreed the fudge was better they gave us with our hotel room purchase. read more

Service was fine. Purchased 4 different slices of fudge. It was extremely hard. Won't return. Mackinac fudge is the best by far.

First of all this is an adorable fudge shop- love how you can watch the employees make the fudge right in front of you! We bought 4 flavors- chocolate, mint chocolate, maple and a vegan dark chocolate mint. I am someone who LOVES sweets and fudge, and I can't believe I am actually saying this....but the fudge was way too sweet. It was like the sugar content was off, they could have used much less and gotten that dreamy sweet confection just right. My husband, father in law and even my 9 year old daughter agreed- too sweet. None of us will eat any more of it which speaks volumes. Also the consistency is very gooey, wondering if the excess of sugar caused that. Wondering if we just got some off batches because the other reviews on here are generally very positive- but anyway, that was our experience. PS- the vegan one was actually the best/most balanced of the bunch! read more

Stopped in here while playing the gnome game and so many varieties of fudge and taffy are here. I was limited in cooler space in my car so wasn't able to purchase a lot of items on this trip. I opted for a sample of dairy free chocolate and my son had another flavor. It was a popular spot for sure but although busy, employees kept up and there wasnt much of a wait. read more

Stopped on our way home for some vegan fudge when we couldn't find any in Mackinaw city. I expected something kind of like fudge that kind of made me happy, but this stuff is the real deal! 4 slices are almost gone in under a week! I think this might become a thing. If they make a vegan dark chocolate with cherries good things are going to happen. read more

Very crowded fudge store with good selection of flavors. Price was expensive and fudge was hard. Use a coupon from the tourist center.

Someone gave me some 'beach' fudge, cooled on a slab as a gift. Ever since, I've been craving it. I found Frankenmuth, which showed it was made in the same way - I ordered it and was so excited when it arrived. However, it's not near the quality of the fudge I was gifted. It smells good, the texture is good - it's just not that chocolaty - it doesn't have a rich chocolate flavor. read more

Michigan should rebrand itself as the fudge capital of the world. I swear, every town you go to in Michigan, especially northern Michigan, there's a fudge shop on every street corner. You don't really have to even go more than a block and boom, FUDGE! Needless to say, we tried lots of fudge on our MI trip. I think I enjoyed Frankenmuth Fudge Kitchen the best of all though. Here's why: -So many different flavors! They had all the usual flavors like chocolate, peanut butter, pecan, and dark chocolate. They also had tons of fun flavors like cookies & cream, mint chocolate chip, sea salt caramel, and my favorite of the whole trip, cinnamon bun! The day we went, they had different 20 flavors out. Yum! -They offer free generous sized samples. You could get a sample of every flavor if you wanted too, though if they have the cinnamon bun flavor, just buy that because it's AMAZING! -The staff were all super nice. They make the fudge right out front where everyone can watch. The people making it were friendly and explained every step of the way. They also would answer questions if anyone asked. It really made the observer feel part of the fudge making experience. The people behind the counter were all so friendly as well. Super friendly people make a place shine! -They offer a cool deal. Buy 3 slices, get the 4th for free! Gotta love a good deal. If you are in Frankenmuth, pop over to this store and get some delicious, decadent, and divine fudge! read more

Frankenmuth Fudge Kitchen - Buy 3 get 4th free! - Candy Stores Near Me - Frankenmuth, Michigan

Stopped in here while waiting for a table at a nearby restaurant. They had probably 20 different types of fudge and it was nice selection. They even had dairy free and I believe it was gluten-free fudge for people that have allergies. We ended up with a Samoa's and the vanilla nut, which had pecans in it. The Samoa's fudge we did taste there, and it was outstanding! If you're looking for great Michigan fudge, I would highly recommend stopping here. read more

My family and I have been going Frankenmuth Fudge Kitchen for as long as I can remember. We go to Frankenmuth about once a year and we can't not go to Frankenmuth without going to FFK! Staff is very friendly and let's you have samples to help you choose which flavor you like. Reasonably priced and you get to watch the fudge being made. They always have the special Buy 3 slices get the fourth free. So it's around $24 for 4 slices of fudge. For as long as I can remember I always get chocolate peanut butter fudge and it's honestly the best. Frankenmuth Fudge Kitchen Fudge is gluten free and will not melt. Also you can order fudge online and have it shipped to you. read more

Oh goodness, this place is fantastic from the moment you step inside and smell its heavenly fudgy awesomeness. I went in and immediately started looking around at the varieties. I tried the caramel w/ sea salt and also the Turtle and the Turtle won out, so I went and got a 1/2 pound and paid for that - about $7 which isn't unreasonable, also if you get one of those Frankenmuth coupon books there's a 10% off coupon in it. So it was like $6.80 for me after tax. THEN, I drifted over to where my friends were standing, watching the fudge man (lol) make fudge, and he gave us all samples after, of the Turtle fudge. STRAIGHT FROM THE FUDGE-MAKING TABLE, and still hot. Yum. He did some trivia, asked how many varieties of fudge the store has, and I guessed 25 and it was 24 ... so then I ended up with ANOTHER piece of fudge, to-go (free this time!), and I chose chocolate peanut butter. Mmmm. I will be back here next time I'm in the area! read more

Best fudge in town. Not only is it homemade, but the selection is above the rest. We love the fact that you are able to watch them make the fudge and sample as much as you want. If you do not like fudge you will like this place , that is 100% guaranteed. Must stop. read more

The maple fudge was pretty good. They have a lot of flavors from which to choose, but some are better than others. The prices are about the same as what you'd pay at one of the tourist trap fudge places you see up north, maybe less. That is to say, the prices are inflated and the quality is middle of the pack on many favors. Still, the quality isn't bad and they do make a few favors that I really like, those being the maple and dark chocolate. Some of the others, like the lighter chocolates and fruit-filled varieties fell flat. They were generous with the samples they offer of the fresh made chocolate. They also had taffy and other candy, too. If you want a souvenir paper hat, they're free. Not a bad way to waste a few minutes of your afternoon. After all, everyone loves chocolate. It's also kind of fun to watch the fudge-making process, too. read more

I bought the dark chocolate with sea salt fudge. It is very, very rich and melts in your mouth. Also very expensive, just like everything in Frankenmuth Michigan. Large selection.

Holy fudge is this place great. At least 4 times a year, I make the 2 hour drive up to Frankenmuth just to hit the Cheese Haus and Fudge Kitchen. This place smells heavenly, and the fudge is DE-LIC-IOUS. You can find me lined up with all the kids at the marble slabs, patiently watching them make, pour, cool, and shape fudge, and hoping for a little sample. If you're in the area, definitely try stop by! I highly recommend the peanut butter and turtle. read more
