🚂 FUDGE CAPITAL of the WORLD: Mackinac Island, Michigan! 🍫🐴🌸
Hellooo Culture Kids! Grab your imaginary passports and your sweet tooth—because today we’re off to the fudge capital of the world… Mackinac Island, Michigan!
Join Kristen and Asher as they hop on the Culture Train to explore this enchanting car-free island, where horses clip-clop down lilac-lined streets and the smell of freshly made fudge fills the air. You’ll meet our friend Mr. Aaron from Joann’s Fudge and discover how creamy, dreamy fudge is made right before your ears—yes, even the marble table has a job to do!
🎧 In this episode, you’ll:
- Learn why cars aren’t allowed on the island
- Visit a fudge kitchen and hear the sizzling magic of hot fudge on marble
- Find out how Mackinac Island became the fudge capital of the world
- Taste-test (well, almost!) popular fudge flavors like Chocolate Cookie Crunch 😋
- Hear what life is like on an island with just 400 year-round neighbors
🌸 Bonus fun: Find out what lilac festivals, snowmobiles, and community spirit have in common—and why they make Mackinac Island one of the most unique places in America.
