STONEHENGE has had a tasty makeover in time for National Fudge Day last Thursday.

Roly’s Fudge Pantry has unveiled what is dubbed as ‘Fudgehenge’ for the special occasion and is made entirely from the shop’s best-selling Vanilla Clotted Cream.

The idea for ‘Fudgehenge’ was dreamt up by former PR and marketing directors, Steven Jones and Sarah Orton the co-owners of Roly’s Fudge Pantry Salisbury, when they observed how many of their customers visited Stonehenge and Salisbury Cathedral.

Steven said: “Stonehenge is one of the most visited tourist attractions in the UK and is less than 10 miles away, with many people combining a visit to both the famous prehistoric site with a visit to the cathedral built in 1220. We thought ‘Fudgehenge’ would be an amusing point of interest for the thousands of international visitors that will flock past our window this summer on their way into Salisbury Cathedral.”

The model took Sarah several hours to construct with the help of photographs, a sharp knife and cocktail sticks to balance the fudge arches. Now Roly’s Fudge Pantry Salisbury plans to display the ‘Fudgehenge’ sculpture in its High Street shop window until the end of August.

Along with the model, Roly’s is running a Guess the Weight of ‘Fudgehenge’ Competition on their Facebook page.

The entrant who guesses the weight closest to the actual weight of the model, to the nearest gramme, will receive £50 worth of fudge vouchers.

Sarah added: “I recently read that when Stonehenge was built, somewhere between 2000 to 3000 years BC, it would have taken 600 men to move each stone weighing around 50 tonnes.

“Thankfully each of my ‘fudge stones’ weighed a lot less than that, but because our fudge is so wonderfully crumbly in texture, it made it extremely difficult to cut and balance the fudge into the iconic arches and took several attempts.”

The winner of the competition will be announced on Thursday, September 1 on Facebook.
