Olds Christmas Market – Part One

   Posted by: Yvonne    in Uncategorized

Today was my first Christmas market in Olds, Alberta. If you missed it, plan on attending the next one on December 6th, 2008 from 11-3.  What a crazy day in fudge sales!  Always an average seller, Eve’s Chocolate – Peanut Butter Fudge beckoned to little children today and was the leading flavour over the four hour sale. A draw for second place were Eve’s Black Forest Fudge and the newest addition to Eve’s flavour list, not even on the website yet, Eve’s Creamy Hazelnut Fudge.  Nutella lovers were in heaven and yet another reason to visit me at the markets…you just never know what flavours might appear!  Then in an amazing turn, there was a FOUR way tie for third place: Eve’s Chocolate Orange Fudge, Eve’s Chocolate with Mixed Nut Fudge, Eve’s Maple Walnut Fudge, and Eve’s Hot Chili Fudge. The word is getting out there about the spicy fudge, and I had several people seek me out for the Hot Chili samples -some incredulously!  I also had a lady quote me Matthew 6:13 “… lead us not into temptation…” after having a sample. Now THAT’S good fudge!!

Crossfield Christmas Market

   Posted by: Yvonne    in Uncategorized

Passing into November seemed to heighten holiday spirit. Stocking stuffers were a hot commodity among shoppers, and Eve’s Chocolate Orange Fudge was the second best seller this week. Eve’s Chocolate Fudge out sold all the other flavours, as usual,  and Eve’s Chocolate Mint Fudge came in a close third.  I enjoy seeing familiar faces at the markets, and was surprised to see an old friend from college who I haven’t seen in 14 years. She tracked me down through the facebook group We Love Eve’s Fudge“.
