Murdick's Fudge in Petoskey

For the longest day of the year, we had to pick Murdick's Fudge in Petoskey which has been serving happy customers for an unbelievable 126 years. Voted best of the northwest not too long ago, Murdick's not only has outstanding fudge, but their ice cream and caramel corn as well as their turtles, bear claws and taffy are top sellers. Located in Petoskey's historic gaslight district, no visit to the area is complete without indulging in something at this store. For those short on time, they are on-line and will send their goodies to you direct.

Kilwins Chocolates

Did you know that Kilwins with its chocolates, fudge and ice cream began in Michigan?  In 1947, Don and Katy Kilwin opened their first store in Petoskey. Now there are over 80 stores nationwide. The one above is in Holland with a very cool outdoor fireplace. We succumbed to the delicious mocha ice cream on a hot summer day.
