Do You Agree That This Is The Most Iconic Dessert In Michigan?

According to 24/7 Tempo Michigan's most iconic dessert is none other than Mackinac Island Fudge.

Mackinac Island is known as the fudge capital of the world. This vacation destination is home to over a dozen fudge and candy shops which churn out thousands of pounds of fudge daily during peak season. Made of a base of boiled milk, butter, and sugar, fudge must be churned as it cools to achieve a smooth texture. Fudge makers at many Mackinac shops are on display to the public as they work the candy by hand.
