From fruit-filled pantry favorites to candy-shop classics, there is more to discover at Fudgery.com.
You probably know us for our rich, creamy fudge. After all, it’s in our name! But if you have only shopped our fudge flavors, you might be missing some of the most delightful surprises in our online store.
At Arndt’s Fudgery, we’ve been sharing sweets in Newton, Illinois, since 1913. Alongside our signature fudge, you’ll find old-fashioned sweet treats made for breakfast tables, dessert nights, care packages, and just-because gifts. Think Amish-made fruit spreads, honey, freshly made brittle, nostalgic candies, and fruit pie fillings that make baking a little easier.
Curious? Here are five delicious discoveries that deserve a closer look.
1. Amish Jams and Jellies: Fruit-Forward Favorites
A great jam has a way of making an ordinary breakfast feel special. Our Amish-made jams and jellies bring that comforting, old-fashioned character to toast, biscuits, pancakes, and more. The collection includes familiar picks such as strawberry, blueberry, and peach, along with adventurous combinations like jalapeno peach and strawberry rhubarb.
The fun is in finding your favorite. Spoon a classic fruit jam over warm biscuits, pair a sweet-tart flavor with cream cheese and crackers, or swirl a little into plain yogurt. We also offer no-sugar-added jam selections for shoppers who prefer products made without added refined sugar. Remember that no sugar added does not necessarily mean sugar-free; the label on each jar has the details.
A sweet idea: Build a breakfast gift basket with two fruit spreads, a biscuit mix, and a handwritten note. It’s useful, personal, and delicious.

2. Amish Honey: Simple Sweetness for Everyday Moments
Honey may be one of the most versatile things you can keep in your kitchen. Our Amish honey is packaged from locally gathered honey and offered in convenient bottle and jar options, making it easy to choose something that fits your pantry or gift basket.
Drizzle it over warm cornbread, stir it into oatmeal, add it to a cup of tea, or pair it with fresh fruit and yogurt. Honey can also bring a naturally sweet finish to homemade dressings and simple dessert glazes. No complicated recipe required: sometimes a spoonful is all you need.
A sweet idea: Put together a cozy breakfast pairing with honey, homemade-style biscuits, and a jar of jam. It’s a thoughtful gift that can be enjoyed over several mornings.

3. Handmade Nut Brittle: The Crunchy Classic
If you love a treat that snaps when you bite into it, this one is for you. We make our brittle to order using butter and fresh nuts. Our gift-box choices include peanut, pecan, cashew, and black walnut brittle, each offering its own nutty character and satisfying crunch.

Brittle is wonderful on its own, but it can also play a starring role in dessert. Break a few pieces into smaller bits and sprinkle them over vanilla ice cream. Add a little to a sundae bar, set out a bowl for movie night, or share a gift box with someone who appreciates classic candy-shop treats.
A sweet idea: Choose two contrasting flavors for a tasting night and see which becomes the household favorite. If you’re gifting, be mindful of nut allergies.

4. Amish-Made Candy: A Little Nostalgia in Every Bite
Our Amish-made candy collection is a treasure hunt for people who love traditional sweets. Choices listed in the online shop include chocolate English toffee, chocolate peanut butter balls, coconut bon bons, vanilla and espresso caramels, white chocolate pretzels, nut clusters, and peppermint bark.
These candies are made and packaged in an Amish community using traditional recipes, and the online selection lets you mix and match three 8-ounce bags. That makes it easy to create a candy assortment with different flavors and textures: something crunchy, something creamy, and something a little unexpected.
A sweet idea: For a thank-you gift, combine buttery toffee, creamy caramels, and coconut bon bons. It’s a small collection of treats that feels thoughtfully chosen instead of one-size-fits-all.

5. Amish Pie Fillings: Dessert Inspiration Without the Extra Prep
Love the aroma of a fresh-baked pie but not the time it takes to prepare a fruit filling? Our Amish-made pie fillings are ready to use and available in classic fruit choices such as apple, blueberry, cherry, peach, and strawberry rhubarb. They’re an easy starting point for home bakers who want the fruit flavor without peeling, pitting, and simmering everything from scratch.
Use the filling in a pie shell and bake according to the recipe or package directions. Or take the even simpler route: spoon a little over cheesecake, ice cream, or a dessert tart. We also carry no-sugar-added pie filling options sweetened with fruit juices; always check the product label for exact ingredients and nutrition details.
A sweet idea: Host a build-your-own dessert night with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, cookie crumbs, and two fruit fillings. Everyone can customize their own bowl.
