When I got married, a lady at my parents’ church gave me this version of a popular Michigan treat. I sometimes pipe a bit of frosting on each piece for decoration during the holidays. —Kristen Ekhoff, Akron, Indiana

This is the most wonderful recipe for fudge. I was raised in Michigan and went to Mackinac often so was excited when i saw this recipe. I purchased the ingredients and made it right away. I must have made this recipe a least 5 times over the holidays this past year. Patricia Latham, Texarkana, Texas

Excellent and large enough batch you don't need to make another batch. I substituted Carnation Evaporated Milk for the milk.

We loved it. My husband has talked for years about Mackinac Fudge...but always loved mine. I am not a fudge eater....but this recipe changed my mind. It is the easiest and best I have ever made.

This is the same as my "Fannie Mae Fudge" recipe that I got from an old boy friend in college - his family secret recipe. We have made it for years to give as gifts. This recipe has NEVER failed and I've made it at least 100 times. It makes a smooth, creamy fudge. You don't need a candy thermometer. Just let it boil those 2 minutes. I'm not sure how much it tastes like Mackinac fudge but it is delicious!

This may be tasty fudge .... but it isn't Mackinac fudge ..... they boil theirs in huge copper pots and cool on slabs of marble...... sorry it is a Michigan thing!!!

I grew up in Michigan, and I love the fudge from the Mackinaw (Mackinac, French spelling, pronounced the same as the English spelling) area. Definitely want to try.
