Michigan's Mackinac Island is known for three important things:
🏨 The opulent Grand Hotel
🐎 The 500 horses that shuttle everything from tourists to trash cans
🍫 Fudge
That's right, fudge.
During the heart of tourist season, 10,000 pounds of fudge gets made daily by the island's 13 fudge shops.
The folks on this tiny island say they are the fudge capital of the world, and they just may be right.
About 120 years ago, as the island transformed from a fur trading capital to a tourist mecca, the Murdick family operated the first candy store, primarily featuring maple syrup treats.
As time moved on, the candy expanded to include fudge and for some reason, tourists took to it immediately.
