Discover Everything We Have To Offer!
Schmidt’s Fudge Haus
Located in historic German Village, Columbus, Ohio we take pride in every chocolate and fudge we make. We use rich Belgian chocolate and the finest roasted pecans, walnuts, almonds, creamy caramel, smooth peanut butter and fluffy marshmallow. Cooked slowly in copper kettles and finished on marble tables, our fudge is hand crafted so every bite is lusciously delicious!
Our customers travel from far and wide for our hand crafted chocolates and fudge. Celebrities such as Martha Stewart and Adam Richmann from the Travel Channel’s Man v. Food have visited us and enjoyed not only our fudge, but our selection of nostalgic retro and penny candies. Call us at our shop at 614-444-2222 or email us at sales@schmidtsfudgehaus.com
Accordionist Mike Farrenkopf
Consider enhancing your Schmidt’s in German Village event by adding yet another layer of “Gemutlichkeit” (Good time fun) with some live music! Our lederhosen clad accordion ‘Maestro’ Mike Farrenkopf, can play a fun mix of authentic German Oom-pa-pa, and / or familiar American tunes to help set an ambiance and raise the ‘fun’ level a notch or two. Mike has been a band leader and favorite performer player in the restaurant and at events here at Schmidt’s for many years, enhancing visitor’s enjoyment and adding to the “German Village” experience as a strolling accordionist. Just let us know you’re interested in having Mike play, and we’ll assist you with the rest!
