Beth and Jay Hardesty acquired Nashville Fudge Kitchen from Vic and Debbie Bartes in June, 2021.  Beth trained and learned all things confections for several years under Debbies mentorship, allowing Debbie to join in retirement with Vic while feeling confident their successfull candy business would continue to thrive and grow under this new ownership.

CREAMY FUDGE: We make our creamy fudge is made from our very own scratch recipes and processed the old fashioned way.  We begin by cooking the fudge in a large copper kettle. We then pour the fudge on thick marble slabs where we hand paddle it to perfection. The entire process takes about an hour and a half. 

GOURMET POPCORN: What makes Nashville Fudge Kitchen gourmet popcorn so delicious? We begin with pure cane sugar, fresh butter from the dairy, and the very best ingredients to be found. Indiana is the largest producer of popcorn in the world and we use only the best in our delicious gourmet popcorn. We have the largest selection of flavors around central Indiana to choose from.
