A Matter of Fudge!
Growing up in a “fudge family” meant Jenn was always eating fudge, making fudge or talking about fudge – and she didn’t think there was anything weird about that. Her family fudge recipe came from her grandmother, and included details for only three flavors – Peanut Butter, Chocolate and Butterscotch. To some, this would have been enough. But for Jenn it was only the beginning.
“I believe fudge should be as exciting as any other dessert. The feeling that I get when I walk into a candy store or an ice cream shop and see all the colors and flavors is pure joy – and fudge should be no different.”
Jenn’s concept for a fudge business revolved around her ambition to create fifty flavors of unbelievably delicious and beautiful fudge that could change people’s perception of what fudge could be. So in 2020, Fudge By Jenn was launched. She experimented with the family recipe until she created a fudge base that could handle high-impact flavor, while still able to keep the smooth texture her family fudge was known for. (And of course, keeping the original three flavors nearly identical to her grandmother’s.)
It didn’t take long for word to get out about Fudge By Jenn, and for the next few years, Jenn was active in vendor shows around the city, had her fudge carried in various retail locations, and filled porch pick up orders, all while looking for that next new flavor. By 2024, Jenn had cataloged 250 flavors – each one unique and delicious.
By this point, Fudge By Jenn had run its course as a trial-and-error side hustle and was upgraded to
Fifty Flavors Fudge Shoppe.

​
Q: Is it gluten free?
A: An ingredient list is included on the packaging. Although most flavors use gluten-free ingredients (except for the addition of cookies or other mix-ins), we do not claim any flavor to be "gluten-free" because we operate in a home-kitchen that is not gluten-free.
Q: What's in it?
A: Our fudge uses traditional ingredients including sugar, evaporated milk, butter, chocolates and flavorings. All products are home produced and contain milk and soy. All products may also contain peanuts, tree nuts, and wheat. All products are made in a home kitchen with known food allergens, including but not limited to: milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soy, and sesame.
