December 11, 2021 - (Day 21)  Well... hadn't expected COVID-related supply-chain issues to impact our regular ingredient purchases and delay wrapping up the process but the production phase of our annual fudgeapolooza is complete: 17 flavors, 57 batches, 457 lbs cut into 10,170 pieces are now being boxed up for distribution. And, for those who missed it last year, no need to guess what flavor that next piece of fudge is, there is a flavor key under the tray.
