Delectible Fudge

Visitors from around the world often come into our Philadelphia store and ask what fudge is. We may tell them it’s a confection made of cream, butter, sugar, and a variety of flavorings—or we may simply give them a sample to taste.

We’ve found that letting customers sample fudge is the most effective way of comprehending its creamy texture and indescribable flavor. If a picture is worth a thousand words, a taste is worth 10,000.
