Generations of Americans have long had a soft spot for old-fashioned, homemade candy. Many of us fondly remember our local handmade candy shop, recalling favorite flavors of jawbreakers, the dark, black taste of sweet and salty licorice, or the crisp autumn apples covered layers of gooey, creamy, caramel. It’s hard to imagine the candy of today living up to the nostalgic memory of the quaint candies of yesterday. After all, how could store-bought fudge ever match Grandma’s secret recipe for chocolate fudge? How could factory-made caramel apples ever be as good as the ones made fresh at the farm at harvest time? All is not lost, however, as a small contingent of traditional candy makers have stayed true to the confectionary quality and methods of the past.
Swiss Maid Fudge, a handmade candy shop in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin, is one such traditionalist. Forty-five years ago, they started making classic, homemade chocolate fudge according to tried-and-true, old-fashioned techniques: boil all-natural candy ingredients in large copper kettles set over an open, gas-fired cast iron stove, and pour the contents out onto cool, solid marble to mix and mold the candy. Very little in that process has changed since they started; the handmade candy shop sticks to the rules and techniques handed down through the family for generations. Only two things have been adjusted in Swiss Maid Fudge’s operation: the expansion of their line of sweet products, and the availability to buy those products online.
Their virtual handmade candy shop now enables customers across the continental United States to get their hands on old favorites such as creamy chocolate fudge, homemade caramel apples, salt water taffy, hand-dipped chocolates, and crunchy brittles and barks. To get the creamy taste and texture that so many of us remember, Swiss Maid Fudge uses only 100% Wisconsin Sweet Cream Butter in their products, adding no preservatives to tarnish the flavor. As well, make all of their candy in small batches, shipping it out as soon as possible so that customers can enjoy the taste of fresh candy.
Old hands at candy-making, Swiss Maid Fudge is particularly proud of the quality and variety of their seasonal treats. Over several decades, this handmade candy shop has developed several creative flavors for the holidays, including peppermint stick chocolate fudge, handmade cranberry walnut fudge, candy cane truffles, gingerbread bark and holiday caramel apples dipped in white chocolate and sparkly, green sugar. These goodies are made available only during the holidays, able to sweeten any festive gathering from September through January.
Family-owned and operated since 1962, Swiss Maid Fudge maintains a loyal following in their local area and beyond. They even offer tours of the handmade candy shop, making sure that everyone gets a taste of homemade candy. Swiss Maid Fudge has received an award for "Best Product" by Orca Communications Unlimited, LLC for the high quality candy products they offer.
