    St Patrick fudge smoothie delicious - A person holds a plastic cup of frozen fudge drink with an orange straw at Mother Lode Mercantile, situated in Goldfield Ghost Town. The cup has a pink and white striped label with the business name and product description. The background shows a wooden deck, a metal railing, and a person standing nearby, with a glimpse of the ghost town's outdoor area and some railroad tracks. The setting appears to be an outdoor seating area of the store.

    two motorcycles parked in front of a building - A two-story wooden building with a balcony and stairs, located in a desert environment with sparse vegetation and rocks. The building has signs indicating it is a mercantile or general store, with a clear blue sky overhead. A motorcycle is parked in front, and a few people are visible near the entrance, with some trees and additional structures in the background.

    This place will take you back in time. Old school candy and unbelievable fudge that is made in house. Gifts galore. Some good friends of ours own it and you should definitely stop in and say hi. They are going to start renting out a room upstairs. We stayed in it and it's perfect.

    A must stop for their Prickly Pear homemade fudge. If you like See's Mayfair chocolate, or the retro sweet "The Big Cherry" you'll love this fudge. I also tried their other signature flavor, "The Gold Nugget". Not too bad on price so buy both flavors when you stop in. -They have other sweets and savory snacks too. -Lots of vintage western gifts.

    Chocolate fudge - A white box holds six pieces of homemade fudge, each individually wrapped in clear plastic. The fudge pieces vary in color and flavor, including dark, caramel, and lighter shades. The box is open, revealing the neatly arranged confections on a speckled countertop surface.

    Friendly staff and some of the best chocolate fudge I have ever had!! If you are a local or from out of town I highly recommend stopping by for some fudge. The ghost town has a lot to offer but this place sets a high standard for your sweets cravings!

    A rectangular label from Mother Lode Mercantile, a candy and fudge shop located in Goldfield Ghost Town, Arizona. The label features colorful text and a cartoon image of a miner with a pickaxe. It mentions homemade fudge, candy gifts, and the shop's website, with a note about new shipping options. The label emphasizes the shop's focus on fudge and candies, situated in a historic ghost town setting.

    Went in today after seeing a side on the road advertising prickly pear fudge and it was to die for, best fudge I've ever had. The ladies at the counter were beyond helpful and friendly. 10/10

    The prickly pear and gold nugget fudge are must tries.

    Stopped by this tourist shop in Apache Junction. The tourist ghost town in general is very cute. Liked this shop the best of the ones I stopped at. Staff was friendly and offered samples of the fudge and nuggets. The churro nuggets were the best in our opinion of all the flavors. The prickly pear and gold nugget fudge was delightful. Great presentation, my only critique on the fudge is that it should be weighed instead of by chunk especially when a small chunk is supposed to be 1/4lb. My prickly pear fudge weighed less than 1/4lb and the gold nugget one weighed more than (but the average worked out to 1/2lb luckily). Prices are what you would expect for a tourist shop, a little on the high side. They had a nice assortment of merchandise, snacks and souvenirs.

    Outside - A rustic, two-story wooden building features signs advertising souvenirs, T-shirts, fudge, and candy, situated in a desert landscape with mountains in the distance. The building has an outdoor staircase leading to the second floor, with a balcony and railing. The scene includes a blue recycling bin and a small trash can at the base of the stairs, with a partly cloudy sky overhead.

    My husband and I stopped in here on a Sunday, Valentine's Day. The store smells like sweets. They have several flavors of fudge and they offer samples. The staff was friendly and helpful even though they were trying to close they made us feel welcome in their store.

    This was a great store for getting Arizona and Goldfield Ghost Town souvenirs. There was air conditioning, which was great in the summer heat. Candies, toys, cups, mugs, tons to choose from. The ladies working in the store didn't pressure anyone into buying or yell at us about masks, social distancing, etc., which was greatly appreciated. We got a few things here and will definitely stop back in when we visit Goldfield Ghost Town again!

    Delicious fudge! As mentioned by previous Yelpers, they sell prickly pear cactus fudge ($8 per half pound). They also have the Gold Nugget, a macadamia nut and caramel fudge with real 24K gold dust ($10 per half pound). These make really great gifts for friends and family! P.S. I got stopped at the airport because the gold dust was absorbing the X-rays. So yeah it is definitely reaaaaaaaal gold.

    Us at the water tower!!
