Little Sweets Spot in downtown Huntington is now making homemade fudge. The fudge is made fresh at the store located at 315 N. Jefferson Street, and it is the only candy store to offer fresh made fudge in Huntington. The store is owned by Ashton and Betty Pinkerton.
According to Betty, “We will make our own fudge with our own label attached. We can create our own recipes and produce our own flavors of fudge because what we purchased was not franchised equipment.”
“We plan to focus on 12 different flavors. The fudge will be made fresh daily at the store,” said Pinkerton. “Flavors include peanut butter, peanut butter chocolate, chocolate, birthday cake, strawberry swirl, chewy praline, cookies ‘n cream, peanut butter crunch, maple walnut, chocolate nut, chocolate M&M and candy bar. The special launch deal is when you buy one pound you will get a half pound free. Fudge makes a perfect holiday gift item.”
Asked why they decided to invest in making fudge, Betty replied, “Over the time we have owned the store people have asked if we sell fudge. We listen to our customers and if they are wanting fudge, then Ashton and I felt we need to give the customers what they want. Plans are to have a ‘Flavor of the Month,’ for our customers.”
