In an email sent to Behind the Mitten and longtime supporters detailing the promo code offer, owners of Original Murdick's Fudge said it was another great year for the Mackinac Island Fudge shop co-owned by the Benser family.
The email contained several beautiful photos of the 2024 season, including a smiling Bob Benser, Sr., who passed away on June 15. He was 95 years old and the heart of Murdick's Fudge for decades.

The email said: "From all of us at Original Murdick's Fudge, thank you for another year of support. We're grateful for the opportunity to serve you and your families for generations. We look forward to making your future Mackinac experiences moments to cherish."
In addition, Original Murdick's Fudge was able to give back to the local community. It made donations to three different Northern Michigan organizations in 2024, "with the hope these gifts will touch many lives."
Listen to our show from Nov. 30-Dec. 1 where we talk about the charities they supprt.
Mike Grisdale, the Marketing Director for Mackinac Straits Health System, as well as Director of the Foundation, said on the podcast that Murdick's "is always there when we need them."
In the email, Murdick's also revealed the top-selling flavor of 2024. Can you guess it?
Chocolate!
They said: "With dozens of classic and one-of-a-kind fudge flavors to choose from, our original Chocolate flavor came out on top — once again — as the most popular flavor of the year! Still made from the original 1887 recipe, it's a winning combination of addictively dense milk chocolate and cream flavor that lingers for a long, sweet finish."
