Have you ever tasted something so delicious – so outrageously amazing – that you couldn’t believe it? Take, for example, fudge. It’s an old-school candy confection typically made with sugar, butter, milk, and other flavors – most famously, chocolate. It’s tough to find someone who doesn’t like it. It’s one of those candies that seems like you’ve had it all if you’ve had it once, but that’s where you’re wrong, friend – some fudge is indeed better than other fudge, and Indiana just so happens to be one of those states where you can find an incredible fudge shop in every small town. I’d like to take a second here and recognize one particularly fantastic fudge shop in Indiana that, once you’ve been, you’ll never want fudge from anywhere else. Ever. Again. Check it out:
What started just a few years ago as a labor of love between grandparents and their grandchildren has turned into a tour de force of sweet and sugary awesomeness unrivaled by any other.
You'll find popcorn - like the delicious and perfectly-crunchy caramel corn pictured above - as well as some truly delicious drinks and frappes that rival the most popular modern coffee shops.
Not sure which flavor(s) to try first? I don't blame you.
You can take your pick from an amazingly creative array of options, from basics like chocolate, dark chocolate, cookies and cream, and peanut butter to more exotic, creative ideas like birthday cake, chocolate water mint, and so much more.
There's something about these small-town mom-and-pop shops in Indiana that makes them all so charming.
Ledbetter's Grand is a beautiful example of this. No matter who's behind the counter when you show up, they're sure to greet you with a smile and help you pick all the best goodies for your needs.
You can typically find Ledbetter's both in-store and at local farmers markets, where it's a ridiculously popular commodity.
And nobody is surprised... it really is the best fudge in Indiana, according to all the rave reviews and the numerous repeat customers who simply cannot get enough.
For the most up-to-date hours, specials, flavors, and more be sure to visit the official Ledbetter’s Grand Fudge Shop website. What would you say is your favorite variety of fudge? Who has the best fudge you’ve ever had in Indiana? Let me know in the comment, or by filling out this form!
