Who likes Fudge?

Hi everyone!Just have to tell you about my friend Lisa and her place called Hillside Bakery! Lisa is the sweetest lady! Now I am picky when it comes to my fudge, I HATE when it tastes like sand is in it, dont you? Now, I live not far from Amish country and they are known for making some really great fudge right?WRONG! Lisa makes the BEST fudge around!  Its smooth and its creamy and Oh so dreamy!!! She doesnt do just fudge though, she also makes wonderful Jams and Jellies and candy and handmade soap as well!Check out this pic of her Jelly Assortment! I also have several of her tote bags and they have held up to SO MUCH abuse!!!

Cranberry Vanilla Walnut fudge $6.25 1/2 lb box
 I swear try her fudge and you will be in heaven! So many people go through an entire 1/2 lb box in a week it isnt funny! She also has fudge of the month and Jams/Jelly of the month subscriptions you can get too. And dont worry, she makes all kinds of chocolate fudge and vanilla and even peanut butter. She even has fudge that you done really see anywhere else, like cranberry walnut fudge. Just look how yummy this looks!!!  Not sure which you want? she also does samplers! perfect for gift giving!!!
Dark Chocolate Cherry Fudge. $6.25 1/2 lb


And how about you Dark chocolate Lovers out there??? Anyone ever see Dark Chocolate fudge? Thats right, Lisa has Dark Chocolate Fudge too! And check this out! Dark Chocolate Cherry Fudge!!! Oh if I was a dark chocolate lover I would SO be all over this!!!!

Lisa has hand towels and tote bags and hand made soap and a BUNCH of other goodie stuff in her shop.

Who is Lisa? Oh my I almost forgot to tell you about Lisa herself!!! LOL  Lisa is an amazing woman. She was suddenly widowed last year after her husband was struck with cancer. She takes care of her grandson who is disabled full time and she never complains about it. She runs a bakery and a home, does markets on the weekends and live in Wisconsin. She does it all with little help since her husband died. She is one tough cookie! She has no problem growing all her own stuff and she does SO much canning and baking. I have to admit, She knows how to make an addictive product! Lisa is a very lovely woman and has a heart of GOLD.  All her stuff is home made and produced and is made from FRESH yes FRESH ingredients every time. That means your fudge isnt sitting around somewhere just waiting to be bought, makes a HUGE difference in the flavor!  If your every up there ( in Wisconsin) stop in and see her, until then check her shop out HERE on Artfire and she is also on Etsy! I TRIED to find a picture of Lisa for you guys but couldnt find one. I am sorry guys! and remember these pics ARE copyrighted so no stealing!

Love Light and Stitchs!

    When etsy was a different kind of place... we all used to chat. There were many boks of fudge in my mailbox. I rarely shared it with anyone. Oh I would offer them some... "You DON"T want any of MY fudge, do you???" LOL
