Blondie's is a fantastic little business located in the heart of Downtown Lapeer. It's attached to this charming deli, called Dagwood's. Get it? Dagwood's and Blondie's! It's so cute, and the businesses are run by a husband and wife team. I was drawn to Blondie's by the sign in the window that said 'Homemade Fudge.' Who wouldn't be, right? And it really was the best fudge I've ever tasted!! I took 2 pounds of the stuff home with me, cut it up and served it as dessert at a dinner party. It was all anyone talked about! Blondie's also puts together custom gift baskets. I remembered it around Christmas and ordered a few. I had a basket shipped overseas to my aunt who lives in France. It arrived on time, and my aunt called me raving about the delicious gourmet foods and coffees, not to mention the fudge and delicious caramel corn (also homemade). This woman is surrounded by croissants and chocolates and rich French cheeses and jams, but all she could talk about was her wonderful basket from Blondie's! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Blondie's also serves Ashby's ice cream, which is some of creamiest (yet still light somehow) ice cream i've ever tasted--not to mention imaginative flavors...key lime pie, ultimate peanut butter brownie. For anyone who has a sweet tooth, I'm telling you, Blondie's is the place to go! If you're in Lapeer, don't miss it. Even if you don't have a sweet tooth, go for the adorable Michigan-centric gifts and gourmet pastas, dip mixes, pretzels, and exotic mustards! I guarantee you'll love it as much as I do!
