Current Obsession: Betty's Tasty Buttons

The words "artisan fudge" have a way of making my mouth water. Add some cute retro packaging, a ribbon and get 'em a little melty, and I'm in heaven.

Betty's Tasty Buttons began as the creator's Grandma Betty's fudge recipe, and has expanded into some gorgeous offerings, including fudge sauce and cajeta, a Mexican slow-cooked caramel made from goat's milk. It's great over ice cream, cakes, or even spooned into coffee.

The fudge flavors, though, are what keep the people coming back for more. With a base of organic sugar, local butter, milk and organic or fairly-traded chocolate, the unique flavors include lava (spicy); lavender mint (lovely and smooth); molasses bourbon (chocolate with sass); and green tea...check out the full list here.

Betty's is based in Philly, and as we know, fudge isn't shipped that well (though I'm sure exceptions could be made for the jarred products). Get 'em while they're melty.
