I am a big fan!! I live in Northern California but my wife first brought me some of the Danish Fudge Kitchens delectable product on returning from a wine festival in Solvang. The beautiful thing is that you don't even have to be in Solvang to get their fudge. They will ship it directly to your house. I have done this many times and it always arrives fresh and exactly like I remembered. The owner Don is a great person and focused on customer service. Thanks for creating a slice of Mackinac here on the west coast. read more

The fudge!!!! The fudge here is to die for. I craved it so much, I had it shipped to my house. It came fresh, delicious, and so worth the effort. If you have not tried their fudge yet, you're truly missing out! read more

EXCUSE ME????? The fudge is how much? no, no, no, no, no! Fudge is good, but if you know anything about confections you would know that unless they are using some weird ingredients, fudge should melt and should never never never be so expensive! Do not get suckered in. Buy a caramel apple or pretzel if you must....or simply go get Abelskivers. read more

Love the fudge at the Old Danish Fudge Kitchen. Whenever we are in Solvang always stop in for several slices to take home. My husband loves fudge and this is his favorite. Especially like the Rocky Road and Chocolate Pecan. We love to watch them make it in front us too. What a special experience. This past year, I ordered several slices online and had them shipped to surprise him for his birthday. The fudge arrived in just three days and was very fresh! Yummy! We need to visit again soon. read more

Old Danish Fudge Kitchen - The place - Desserts Near Me - Solvang, California

Oh my! This place has yummy caramel apples and huge incredibly tasty turtles! We need to go back and try the fudge now!

I absolutely love this place cause they make the best chocolate fudge brownies that I ever ate. I'm sure there's a lot more place to go to, but the gooey and melt in your mouth feeling is so addicting that you want to finish the whole batch in a sitting. I'm just impressed that their fudge doesn't melt easily and hard as a rock until you bite into it. I definitely recommend this when you visit Solvang. read more

I was very excited to try their fudges, so I got a piece of the walnut chocolate one it was EXTREMELY sweet, you can't taste the walnuts and chocolate because of the sweet, it's insane, it's like eating plain sugar, I was disappointed. Also the prices are a little high. I give them 2 stars only because of the pretzel, it was really good. But I don't recommend their fudges at all unless if you like eating full sugar. I do recommend their pretzels with the cheese. read more

Ordered a fresh homemade pretzel which was very soft and moist. Ordered the turtle as well and WOW! Thanks for providing us a safe environment during this pandemic and forcing social Distancing! read more

Their fudge and caramel apples are delicious. Make it a point to stop here if you find yourself in Solvang. Tried their caramel apple, juicy apple with a great caramel to complement it. Not sweet at all. Had their pecan chocolate fudge and that was also delicious. Soft and not too sweet, just right. read more

Cute novelty shop, lots of fudge varieties. The prices are high but the fudge is yummy. I stick to milk chocolate fudge as the others are way too sweet for me. They also see cookies and candied apples and such. read more

The vanilla ice cream with berry chunks is good and the waffle cone had minimal extra charge.

teh fudge is up with this place. came up to solvang with the solgang, and let me tell ya these old danish fudge folks must be laughin' all the way to the bank. because the fudge they packin' is so darn rich, amirite?? i've had too much wine. read more

This fudge is perfect. Slightly "caramelized" texture on the outside, soft inside that doesn't melt all over your hand or on the wax paper. Rich but not overwhelming- loved it! We sampled the Oreo and the Dark Chocolate, and opted for the dark chocolate. Would have loved to try the rocky road too! Note: they only serve by the "slice" which is approximately a 1/2 pound (not exactly a bad thing :) ) read more

Really good fudge. A whole lot of different flavors and combinations. A bit expensive, but memorable. My recommendation: take it out of the box and tissue paper wrapping, before cutting it. Put it in Tupperware or something. because once cut, it starts to leak. Tastes great, but it's messy. read more

The smell is intoxicating walking in! They have samples for you to try at the counter. I bought a slab of rocky road and it was amazing. I wish I could have bought the entire store. They also had fresh caramel apples and handmade soft pretzels. I will definitely stop here again if I ever come back to Solvang read more

We have been enjoying this fudge for years. We have to stop here every time we're in town for their fudge and a fresh hot pretzel. Their mail order has been a life saver. We order it for gifts and special occasions. They ship out fast and package with great care! The quality of their fudge is beyond compare. read more

One of my favorite places in Solvang! So delicious. A tradition every time I go.

Wow! Best pretzels I've ever consumed. It it the perfect blend of buttery, saltiness, and fluffy dough. I ate two today and cannot express how much I love these pretzels. The fudge is also good. We got peppermint fudge, very very minty but very tasty! read more

Old Danish Fudge Kitchen - Me eating the last bit of my pretzel. - Desserts Near Me - Solvang, California

I just ordered three flavors, dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and maple walnut, and this is the greatest fudge I have ever had. The maple is like a flavor from another dimension. Maple and butter and fabulousness. And I don't know why Yelp says no delivery, because they shipped very fast to Santa Barbara and Denver. Seriously, this fudge is the bomb, it is not expensive, and the ordering and shipping process was very easy. You need this fudge. read more

I'm not too much of a fan of fudge, but here...wow. It's really delicious. They have more than fudge here but that's all I got for my brother to take back home. Dark chocolate fudge & rocky road is what I bought. Amazing!! read more

The Old Danish Fudge Kitchen in Solvang has the BEST fudge I've ever tasted! They have SO MANY wonderful flavors my mouth waters just thinking about it! Raspberry , rocky road, peanut butter. So many! And just try to decide which flavor you want, well, that's the real test and because they're all delicious it's hard to choose. Next time you're in Solvang look them up. You can order on line too. I had some sent to me for my husbands birthday. He was thrilled !! They have so many other yummy treats too such as candied apples and toffee. It's like walking into a miniature version of Willy Wonkas chocolate factory. You're sure to walk out with a smile and something delicious. read more

The 5 stars are for the AMAZING soft pretzels they make here. We didn't try any of the fudge, and yes they have free samples that people were fighting over, but it looked great as well. The pretzel was big, warm, and not too greasy like some soft pretzels you'll find in the mall. It was handmade right there, and we made it last all of about 3 minutes-it was that great! I didn't see a lot of soft pretzels all over Solvang, so this might be "the" place to snag one. :) They also offer cheese and mustard if you need it, but it was just as good plain...we didn't bother with all of that. There were lines out the door for the fudge, which was also made there. If you're a fudge freak, this is your heaven-every kind I've ever seen was available- from Penuche to Plain Old Traditional and lots of fancy ones like Rocky Road. I loved the pretzel and would definitely go for it again! read more

Best fudge ever! I went to this store once when we visited Solvang, and ordered three times via their online website because I love their fudge so much! My favorite is the rocky road! read more

I visited the boutique shops in Solvang when I spent a few days at the Chumash Hotel and Casino. This was a great place to visit. I saw them making fudge by hand from scratch. I also bought quite a few pieces of fudge to take home. The dark chocolate was heavenly. I will definitely return to this place every time I visit Solvang now to buy more fudge! read more

This was our last food stop before leaving Solvang for the day. The Old Danish Food Farm Inc. was established in 1961 and they serve a Mackinac Island style fudge as well as Caramel Apples, Peanut Brittle, Soft Pretzels with Cheese, Salt Water Taffy and Danish Butter Cookies. You can order from their website year round. The reason for this is two fold: First, they use heavy cream instead of butter. Second, they slice the fudge while it is still warm so that each slice cools to form a harder, protective shell. These two steps prevent melting as long as you keep the full slice together. Their recipes have been passed down from generation to generation since the late 1800s. Their "creaming" process helps to cool the fudge and breaks down the sugars in the fudge giving it a creamy texture. Once the fudge has thickened, they use a spatula to form it into loaves and slice the loaves into about 1/2 pound quantities. Believe it or not, chocolate fudge by most accounts in an American invention. The first mention of fudge is found in a letter written by Emelyn Battersby Hartridge. She wrote that a Vassar schoolmate's cousin had made fudge in Baltimore, Maryland in 1886 and was selling it for 40 cents per pound. Hartridge acquired the recipe and in 1888, sold 30 pounds of fudge at the Vassar College Senior Auction. The recipe would be popular at Vassar for years to come. At approximately the same time, shops on Mackinac Island in Michigan began selling a very similar product to summer tourist, some of these original shops still exist and sell fudge on Mackinac Island to this very day. The popularity of fudge in this area has caused locals to nickname tourist "Fudgies" referring to the vast quantity of fudge purchased by tourist. I grew up about an hour and a half (including the ferry ride) from Mackinac Island and was always amazed when you could identify the tourist by the boxes of fudge they were carrying around with them. Rohlinism: Nicknames aren't always flattering, but they are usually accurate. This shop has the following flavors: Chocolate Chocolate Pecan Chocolate Peanut Butter Chocolate Raspberry Chocolate Walnut Dark Chocolate Dark Chocolate Walnut Maple Pecan Oreo Cookie Peanut Butter Penuche Rocky Road Vanilla Pecan Pumpkin (Seasonal) Chocolate Mint ( http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=tedlN5zzeWziAcSQeijZhg&userid=ax7SnXOTIpatbsmqHLqVow ) ( http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=4juFz1HFWIg0tGpbDhojeA&userid=ax7SnXOTIpatbsmqHLqVow ) The selection was about average for a fudge shop (I have seen some places on Mackinac Island do over 20 flavors) and there was some samples of the seasonal pumpkin on the counter for everyone to try. The sample was decent, the texture wasn't grainy, I just felt it was missing some flavor. There wasn't a line per se, so you are more on the honor system about who is next. I ordered one slice of the Chocolate Pecan when it was my turn and the better half and I headed for home. As advertised, there was no sign of melting when we arrived home and Laina and I dug in. Laina said the fudge was good, but I don't remember her experiencing the "Wow!" factor she had when I introduced her to Mackinac Island fudge a number of years ago. I was also disappointed nothing was being prepared when I was purchasing my fudge. Part of the experience on Mackinac Island was watching the shops make fudge, brittle or some other item fresh as you decided on your purchases. The aroma from whatever was being cooked up was strong enough to draw you in off the street. The price is around $6 per 1/2 pound, which is surprisingly low compared to the fudge shops on Mackinac Island. I would say for most people, this is some really good fudge, but for someone that grew up near the World's capital for fudge, this was only A-Ok. read more

Yeah, no sheet, expensive fudge. And one of the very few things I found exciting about Solvang. Dark chocolate walnut fudge, 3 pieces for $23. But to see the look on the faces of the friends that recieved the slabs as gifts was priceless. The fudge melts in the mouth releasing endorphin-like receptors of pure morphine-like pleasure, the body reacts, embraces it, makes love to it...very addicting. It's a very good thing I don't know where to get this stuff in the LBC nor am I asking. I have one of those addictive personalities that would allow myself to be enshrouded in the warm glow of a chocolaty fudge buzz and soon my clothes wouldn't fit. Since I was trained in strong military discipline, I was able to say "No" to the Peanut Butter Fudge. read more

Whenever we are in Solvang, we go to the Old Danish Fudge Kitchen. They have so many varieties of fudge, and back in the days before the pandemic, we also were able to sample one of the flavors at every visit. The variety is amazing, and the quality is the best! Highly recommend for all fudge lovers and those who want to try something different! read more

Just dropped by today. They didn't let us have any samples except for what was precut on the counter. We played it safe and bought a slice of chocolate fudge and mint chocolate fudge. Both were unusually moist in the middle. Chocolate was so so and the mint tasted like they dumped the entire bottle of mint extract. It tasted like chocolate toothpaste. I can't get the taste out of my mouth. This is probably why they didn't offer samples. We've visited in the past and fudge was decent but now I think this place has been taken off the list.. read more
