Happy they have an option

Really good vegan chocolate fudge and happy they have a dairy-free option. Too bad it wasn’t advertised or in the display case.

Pros: Yay for vegan option

Cons: Wish there were more flavors

Chocolatey

I'm not a huge chocolate fan, but my husband said he preferred Ryba's chocolate fudge to Sanders.

Good Vegan Fudge

When we visited, the only available flavor was chocolate. However, it was quite good, & we were happy to buy some! You need to ask for the vegan fudge, as we did not see it on display. We heard that vegan peanut butter fudge is available elsewhere.

Just Okay

Was not on display and kept in a tote. Tasted okay but was like a thick brownie. Family who are not vegan said it wasn't too camperable.

Vegan fudge

Vegan fudge is not in the case. Ask for it. All four locations on main street have it. It's very fudgey and delicious. Sanders fudge was more like chocolate candy, very firm vs the dark chocolate soft fudge texture.

Pros: Four locations

Cons: Have to ask for the vegan, not in the display case

Sanders is better

Fudge was way better at Sanders, plus they have other options!

Happy they have an option

The nondairy fudge is in a Tupperware of shame in the back, you have to ask for it and know it's there. I think Sander's fudge is more fudgy (but didn't quite set up all the way), and this fudge tastes like a particularly under baked brownie

I’m glad there is an option!

As a vegan, it’s great to be able to get something that everyone else goes to Mackinac Island for. However, I’ve had better fudge! You can tell they use cocoa powder instead of melted chocolate as it’s a bit chalky and the texture is not as melt in your mouth as dairy-based fudge. I think a peanut butter option would be fantastic.

Excellent vegan fudge, introduced in 2021, yummy

it is so popular that is the avoeite of many of the employees, and generally considered tastier than the two vegan fudges at Sanders

Pros: excellent flavor, very smooth, individually wrapped, two sizes, Ask for it, it's behind the counter at all 4 shops

Cons: only one option

Better vegan at Sanders

Ryba's vegan fudge is made from coconut oil and is a bit weird. Sanders fudge shoppe also has vegan (soy based) fudge and it's delicious! HappyCow won't let me add a review for Sanders unfortunately.

The one vegan fudge is fine, not great

Double chocolate vegan fudge is fine. If you want fudge, get it. If you require something delicious, you'll be disappointed.

Really good fudge

I tried the vegan fudge from Zak & Mac, and it was awful, so I didn't have high hopes for this one, but it was really good. Usually I find fuge too sweet, but this one was more chocolate-y like a brownie. I highly recommend getting some.

Pros: So many locations

Cons: Expensive

Vegan fudge!

I was thrilled to get fudge on Mackinac Island. It's pretty good fudge too although I wonder how fresh it is. It's not with the rest of the fudges behind the glass so you have to ask for it. They keep it in a box on a shelf behind the counter.

Pros: Happy to have vegan option on MI!

Cons: Only one option - regular chocolate fudge

VEGAN FUDGE!

2020 Update:
Vegan fudge not eligible for mail orders, as they ONLY make it during the summer. :(


Earlier:
I travelled almost 2,200 miles from Nevada to Mackinac Island. Just for the vegan fudge. I haven't had fudge for almost 25 years. I stumbled into the store and got a sample. OMG. Sheer bliss.

Only vegan flavor is dark chocolate. Life can't get better than that. I didn't care how much it cost. Between 2 stores, I bought 6 POUNDS! That should last me a while😄

I just emailed their office to thank them for making the fudge. Hopefully, that will show that vegans want junk sweets and won't discontinue it :)

Pros: VEGAN FUDGE :)

Cons: Only one flavor, More expensive than other flavors

They have some of the best Vegan fudge I’ve ever had. They’re limited to chocolate in flavor but it’s so good that it doesn’t matter.

Pros: Incredible flavor

Pros: Nut-free vegan fudge

Cons: Offers only one kind - chocolate fudge
