These are some of the best fudge we ever had! My go to is the cherry vanilla but sometimes we go for peanut butter, maple, or chocolate. They are super dense, creamy, and don't melt! They usually stick with traditional flavors such as vanilla, chocolate, peanut butter, maple, etc. their deviation is cherry and today, they had raspberry. I would love to see more of these creations of other flavors in the future. The staff were nice and gave us a huge sample portion. The place is clean and had some touristy stuff on the shelves. There is free parking out front. They also mail fudge. read more

Doug Murdick's Fudge - Candy Stores Near Me - Acme, Michigan

Maybe I was expecting a tad bit more? Maybe they are better during the summer. The cool factor about this location, is that you can watch them making fudge. There is an old timely feel about the store. Display cases full of various varieties of fudge couple with rows of various other merch and food items. The fudge itself was mid. I appreciated that it came with a butter knife that allowed me to eat it throughout the week. Would I be here again? Meh, probably not. The workers were talking (maybe a son and father) and the one who did help me, she seemed as if she didn't want to be there. Who knows; maybe it's not the coolest job to have during a weekend. read more

Fudge. That's it. Good fudge. Actually, GREAT fudge. There's not much else to say. Service was fine. The shop is basically a factory for fudge. They sell a few other little trinkets and the obligatory Michigan shot glass, but their only reason to exist is fudge, and they nailed it. read more

This was a fun stop on our family vacation. I've driven by this place probably 20 times or more over the years during our visits to Traverse City. Up until this most recent visit that I had never actually stopped in. All of the usual suspects are available here, fudge, taffy, sodas, and other types of treats. The young lady that was working the counter was very polite and pleasant to talk to for a few minutes. The fudge we purchased was for my son, who indicated it was delicious. You can't beat the view from the front door of course, and maybe that's reason enough to stop here as opposed to visiting their location in town. I would absolutely consider coming back. read more

OVERATED & OVER PRICED!! We sought this place out as one of the "must see" tourists points in Traverse City. We were served by "stiff" service reps. We tasted 3 flavors and puchased 4 of the half blocks of fudge. When got home and opened our boxes we were shocked to find that our sample slivers and possibly others had be cut out of the half block we purchased because there was MUCH LESS than 1/2 block of 2 of the flavors in our boxes. This cheap trick felt like a rip off. Store atmosphere was out dated and boring. We will not go back to Murdick's. On future trips we will seek out other fudge companies. Down Right Disgusted! read more

Let me start off that I have an insatiable sweet tooth (but not too much with fudge). This was recommended by a family friend as THE BEST fudge shop in Traverse City so we had to stop. I was in Mackinaw Island the week prior and went to all of their shops. This location doesn't seem like it would be the best since it is a little out of the city center yet this is where all of the fudge is made. Even if you don't have a sweet tooth just go there for the show of them making the fudge. From heating it in the copper kettle, to putting it in the frames on the tables, to whipping air into it, and forming it. It really is quite an experience. We did get 4 half pound sections (if you buy 3 you get one free) and they have around 20 flavors of fudge. On top of that they have a whole section dedicated to other sweets and specialties of the area. The fudge is super rich, tastes amazing, and was a hit with the family and went super quick when I brought it into work for my colleagues to try out. Stop on by for the show and leave some room for all of the samples! read more

Tasty chocolate fudge! Deliciously creamy, full of flavor. We stopped here on an evening stroll and loved the atmosphere and variety of flavors. read more

Best fudge in TC. I have been visiting this store since I was a wee young lass. They have always been the best...people try to imitate and they just cannot get anywhere close. It is kind of sad...I am spoiled...I can never really have any other kind of fudge (outside of Northern Michigan/Mackinac) anymore. I travel to other states...visit candy shops...smell the delicious fudge...and it never comes anywhere close. If you visit Traverse City you MUST stop here. read more

Look for the large box of fudge on the roof to spot this shop. As soon as your walk in the door the delicious smell of fudge welcomes you. That is enough to convince a sweet tooth to buy a pound. Samples are given by request. Choices range from traditional chocolate to black cherry; nuts or none. A small area of Michigan souvenirs is also available. The only downfall to this place is location. It is on US 31 which can be rather busy. To make a left turn out can be a challenge - driver beware. read more

Excellent smooth creamy fudge. A diabetic's disaster. If your palate prefers the drier crumblier variety, this is not the fudge for you. Small selection of local foodie items, such as cherry salsa and cherry BBQ sauce. Worth at least one visit when you're in Traverse City. read more

This fudge was fantastic, creamy and fresh with lots of delicious big cherry flavors in both the dark chocolate cherry and the white chocolate cherry. So rich and tasty, I wish you could get it outside of the Traverse City area! read more

My niece and nephew came to visit over the summer and we decided to stop in since its on not too far from the beach and i've been living in TC for over a year now and have never had it, even though i drive past it everyday on the way to work. I was blown away! It was so GOOD! I have never been a fan of fudge but Doug Murdick's Fudge is Delicious! (with a CAPITOL D) Yes, that's how yummy it is! At first it seems a little too sweet, but you start craving it! Next thing you know its all gone! That's exactly what happened to us! Definately going back! read more

Lots of really good fudge, so many different kinds! Its fun to watch them make in house and try all the samples. The prices are great too. I also had some brittle that was excellent! read more

fudgies unite!! I am a local but I totally love fudge!! Murdick's is the only place to get fudge! Kilwin and the like cannot touch Doug's recipe!! I is creamy and perfect. They make it fresh, in the summertime daily! I highly reccomend stopping in while the fudge is being made, its fun to watch! If you ask the people cooking they'll usually let you have a sample of it while its still warm off the marble tables. It is soooo amazing!! read more

First, this is the best fudge around and we have tried them all from Mackinaw to Traverse City. Extra smooth creamy texture, great flavor. Not gritty like some of the other big name fudge sellers offer. My wife has been enjoying it since she was a girl so this year I thought I would order a box for Christmas. Shipped in plenty of time, the PO somehow lost it for about 10 days and it arrived after Christmas. Debbie at Doug Murdick's was in pretty much constant contact with me once the problem was discovered, even going so far as to go in after a family function on Christmas Eve and find me tracking info. The fudge finally arrived shortly after Christmas and a second box, sent by Debbie to make sure we had fudge over the holidays, arrived a day or two later. Both were actually fine. So rare to find someone in the business world today who actually cares about their company, product and customers. Made me glad I did business with them. I would recommend Doug Murdick's Fudge highly. read more

Tasty fudge! Stop by everytime we are in the area. Cant compare to any others since this is the only place we come to.

Love Murdick's Fudge. It is perfect. Lots of time fudge can be way to sweet and sugary. This is a perfect balance of smooth, creamy, and sweet. The regular chocolate has always been my favorite, but the vanilla chocolate chip is also wonderful. The chocolate peanut butter is also very good. They don't have as many varieties of flavors as Kilwin's, but I think Murdick's tastes much better and I typically just want chocolate or vanilla chocolate chip. read more
