Fudge. Decadent, rich, creamy and delicious. Excuse me while I wipe the drool from my chin… I don’t know many people who don’t like fudge. I am certainly not that person, which is why I was beyond delighted to meet with KT, the Kiltman himself, Kevin Thompson; visionary and founder of Shenanicandies. What does Shenanicandies make? You guessed it; FUDGE. But not just fudge, Funache. What is Funache? I’m glad you asked! Funache is somewhere between a fudge and a ganache. It is solid feeling and looking like a fudge as the foil wrapper is removed. That is where the fudge resemblance ends. It is smooth and creamy as it melts in your mouth. As the chocolate subsides, the subtle flavor comes to life. And what flavor! Kevin uses a wide variety of liquors to flavor Funache, from simple schnapps and cordials to single malts, absinthe and a 25-year-old Armagnac. This is a candy to experience and savor! Kevin hasn’t left out the kiddos, however. He has developed Ultra Funache which is made from extracts and other non-alcohol flavors, so it is 100% kid-friendly. It is just as creamy, smooth and delicious as its predecessor, but without the fun stuff, I mean, with out the alcohol. The sweetest part of Ultra Funache is that 10% of the purchase price of every box of Ultra Funache will be donated to local Youth Organizations. How can you taste some of this dreamy chocolate for yourself? You can visit https://shenanicandies.com/ to place your first of many orders or you can catch the Kiltman while he is out and about at his next fair venue. He is at Old Rochester Regional Junior High School every Tuesday and Sundays at Stony Creek Farm in Swansea. You can view his full schedule at Facebook.com/funache. Samples won't be necessary, you will fall in love with magic and madness of Shenanicandies!
