    Milk Chocolate Toodles
    Mikei J.

    My family and I have been coming to The Fudge Pot, off and on, for 10 years. The chocolate is really good. I've had a variety of things and I liked them all, but my favorite is The Milk Chocolate Toodles. I drop in once a week, without the kids, I purchase 1 Toodle and I eat it real slow. Lol The service is always fast and friendly. I like that we can see the candy being made. Keep in mind for the counter treats they charge by the pound. They also make specialty chocolate, chocolate covered fruit, taffy apples, etc. The shop is small but cozy. It gives you a nostalgic feel which is rare to find in this day and age. Although it has been a neighborhood staple in Old Town for years, it's worth the drive for those that don't live in the area. I highly recommend.

    I'm not sure why, but my nephew wanted a candy apple. So thanks to Google I found that The Fudge Pot sold them. I gave them a call and the man I spoke with said that they had a couple but they were a day or two old, but that if we came after five they'd have some fresh ones. So we got there just about five, and my mom and sister got a few pieces of candy along with the pièce de résistance, candy apple. The shop is very small; whilst we were in there I think there were a total of eight or so of us in there (four in my party), and it was starting to get a litltle crowded. However, placing your order may not take very long so I expect folks generally move in and out relatively quickly. It's an odd space but there is a ramp for wheelchairs, strollers, etc. Parking is limited to street parking. The candies (at least, what I tasted) were good. The salted caramel was delicious, and man I love caramel. I also tried a Grand Marnier truffle that was suuuuuuuper boozy. You'll get your money's worth there! However, I was pretty disappointed with the candy apple situation. I'm not sure we got the fresh ones that they were making--the woman gave my sister two, one for free, and from the little I was able to hear it sounded like it was because they were older ones. Uncool.

    Tiny little shop because most of it is kitchen. This place has molded chocolates galore. And fun chocolate pops. We tried the milk and dark chocolate. They were both wonderful. The chocolate covered pretzels are a definite fave around here...a good combo of sweet and salty. The staff was the gem of this place.

    This place is my go to every time I'm in the area! Fudge pot has the best quality chocolate. The strawberries are amazing and worth every dollar. The Carmel apples are one of my favorites too the size of the apples are huge! The service is very welcoming and everyone is super nice. This location is small but very clean and organized. 10/10 would recommend

    Oh my goodness-- not only is everything they make AWESOME....but these folks showed up at the school door today with a "because you all work so hard" box of complementary apples for the Franklin teachers and staff. It made us cry to know that our neighborhood businesses like The Fudge Pot take the tome to let us know we are appreciated. I love neighbors like this! And I love all the yumminess they add to our Wells street! Thanks for this!

My fav so far is the macaroon and sour cherry. Did not like the strawberry cheesecake as a candy though. I hear, they had 5 stores in New York which shut dpwn sometime during covid, and these two stores in Chicago opened about a year ago. They are really soft. Keeping them out at room temperature kind of melted them so I put them in the fridge. texas heat is too much for their sensitive fruity nature ;) There's a little card which tells exactly which chocolate is what flavor . Packing is really cool. Goes great as a gift.
