This year at the Pecan Shed we took on a new project. Tim came up with the idea to buy a fudge kettle and make homemade fudge at our store. While Jill and Molly were a little hesitant (if not downright defiant) about the idea, Tim proceeded with the project anyway (he usually does). We took out the old sales counter and made a new one to showcase the fudge and we also remodeled a room at the store in which to make the homemade fudge.
While sales were slow at first, thanks to advertising and word of mouth, they soon picked up and by Christmas time we were hopping with fudge sales. People were buying the stuff by the whole pan...some even several pans at a time! It was crazy...or should I say nuts!
Our most popular fudge flavors are plain chocolate, chocolate pecan, butter pecan, peanut butter and chocolate layered, chocolate mint, vanilla caramel swirl, divinity, rocky road, coconut pecan, and sugar free plain chocolate or with pecans. Jill's favorite is the peanut butter and chocolate layered...of course her jeans no longer fit but it was sooooo good!
During Christmas we also offered peppermint fudge and fudge topped with M&M's. Currently we are working on some fudge flavors for Valentine's Day...cheesecake fudge seems to be a favorite suggestion so far! Also for Valentine's Day we will have V-Day boxes available as well as heart containers filled with chocolate fudge. What a perfect gift for your Sweetie!
Make everyday a holiday with our homemade fudge!!!
