Handmade Tradition

At Ryba’s Fudge Shops, the art of handcrafting creamy, delectable fudge transforms into a delightful public spectacle. Here, delicious new flavors are born, filling the air with the irresistible scent of freshly made fudge, drawing in visitors from near and far. Fondly referred to as ‘Fudgies,’ tourists eagerly gather to indulge in Ryba’s signature treats in the iconic pink box. Our grandfather, Harry Ryba, was known as the “Fudge King” of Mackinac Island, a legacy passed on to our father, Victor Callewaert, who in turn taught us. Today, as we prepare the next generation to continue our family tradition, every moment spent at Ryba’s promises to be a sweetly unforgettable experience, ensuring that our legacy of crafting the creamiest fudge on Mackinac Island lives on.

About Ryba’s  Visit Ryba’s

He’s been making fudge since he was 13, so it’s safe to say Gregg knows a thing or two about it! 🍫

Meet Gregg Callewaert, third-generation fudgemaker and your guide to our new series, Fudgemaking 101. 💕

We’re taking you behind the scenes of the handcrafted process that’s been part of our family for four generations, one sweet step at a time.

First up: Creaming the fudge! Gregg shares a closer look at this important step and how it give Ryba’s fudge its signature smooth, creamy texture.
Big news for turtle lovers…🐢🍫 Our ½ lb Great Turtles will be back on ryba.com come November…yes, we’re already thinking about them too 😉
Fall called. We answered with something sweet. 🍂🍫

The cases are full of cozy-season favorites, caramel corn is ready for snacking, and Pumpkin Fudge is back for a limited time. There is no such thing as too many sweet treats this time of year.

Consider this your sign to stock up on all our fall favorites! 😋
We may have set Grant up. 😈🍫

For this year’s Fall Fudge Festival naming contest, all the island fudge shops created their own take on the winning name... Fudge Around and Find Out. Ours is rich chocolate fudge with cinnamon and cayenne, sweet at first with a spicy little kick at the finish. 

We told our coworker to do a taste test and two pieces were regular chocolate fudge and only one was Fudge Around and Find Out. 

Tiny problem for Grant: all three pieces were Fudge Around and Find Out.  And we may have made this batch a little extra spicy. 🌶️🥵

Major credit to Grant for being such a good sport, making us laugh, and always being one of the most fun to work with. Sorry, Grant. Kind of. 😂 🫶🏼
