Steamboat Lake Marina

For the past 17 years, Carolyn White (aka “The Fudge Lady”) has been whipping up the tastiest treats in Colorado. Year after year, tourists and locals alike have made the trek to Steamboat Lake to get their hot little hands on the creamiest confections in the area.

Delicious Homemade Fudge

As a retired school teacher, Carolyn moved to Hahn’s Peak Village in 1993 with her husband Carroll. Carroll, an avid fly fisherman, began work at building up a fishing store and Carolyn focused on running a local gift shop. Through her research of the next great items to stock at the store, Carolyn stumbled upon the concept of selling fresh fudge and began to pursue it whole-heartedly.

Carolyn sold 2,000 pounds of fudge the first year and she was off and running! Now, Carolyn makes 75 pounds of fudge every other week and it’s sold here at the Marina. But Carolyn’s reputation branches out much further than just our store. People travel to Hahn’s Peak all summer long asking “where’s the fudge lady?”

The ingredients are selected weekly by Carolyn and she always seems to throw in a special flavor or two each time she bakes. The hottest sellers remain to be the Heath Toffee Crunch, Mint Chocolate and the Peanut Butter Swirl. Some of the other delicious flavors you can expect are Coconut Swirl, Strawberry, Maple Nut, Snickers Fudge, Creamsicle and of course… good old, melt in your mouth Chocolate!

So the next time you’re at the Marina, ask if the “Fudge Lady” is in today. Or perhaps, simply follow your nose!
