NEW BUFFALO â A delicious dessert for some will equal meals for many thanks to this yearâs âFudge-Raiser.â
Almost every day for about the past month Chef Jackie Shen has been making fudge (her special recipe includes Belgian chocolate) at the rate of about 30 pounds per day in the kitchen at her Jackieâs Cafe in New Buffalo.
As of Dec. 16 She had made 680 pounds (600 of it already sold) for a fund-raising effort that will benefit Meals on Wheels of Southwest Michigan.
Shen said local insurance agent Tom Rossman is one of the Fudge-Raiserâs most consistent supporters.
âEvery year he orders 34 pounds for his clients. He said it beats poinsettias.â
