    Honigschmidt pointed out that Fredericksburg Fudge is cooked from scratch with all natural products including fresh whipping cream and butter and real milk chocolate. No artificial ingredients or preservatives are used.

    "Most commercial fudge made today is not made from scratch like ours. They use a mix, add water and butter and stir it up. It's not even cooked. Our fudge is made the old fashioned way. Honigschmidt said.
