The Kindness Matters Podcast
Spread the Message, Not the Mess
A chance TikTok discovery led me to Adam Dahl, a fudge maker and small business owner whose story perfectly embodies the spirit of kindness I seek to highlight on this podcast. From his Minnesota Vikings fandom to his mouthwatering fudge creations, Adam brings joy to his community through Dahlhus Fudge – a tiny 300-square-foot shop with an outsized impact.
Adam shares his journey from making holiday fudge for friends to launching a successful business, revealing the creative process behind his seasonal flavors and unique collaborations with local establishments. His secret weapon? Water-based baking emulsions that preserve flavor when added to boiling sugar, resulting in extraordinary treats like cinnamon roll fudge and maple bacon varieties that have earned him viral social media moments.
What truly sets Adam apart is his commitment to using his platform for good. Inspired by his father's philosophy to "spread the message, not the mess," Adam recently launched a campaign to tackle the $36,000 school lunch debt affecting nine schools in his district. Through his TikTok creator fund earnings, in-store donations, and growing community support, he's building a movement with t-shirts, a nonprofit fund, and participation in the "Lunch Lady Hustle 5K."
You can follow Adam and the fudge on his socials Instagram, Facebook
Adam's story reminds us that kindness can take many forms – sometimes sweet and unexpected – and that small businesses can be powerful forces for community change. As he puts it, "I want to be the best fudge, but ultimately I want to be known for more than just the chocolate."

Speaker 1:So my guest today is Adam Dahl. I found him on TikTok okay and there were a few things that caught my attention. First of all, during football season, he always wore Minnesota Vikings gear, so that was a plus, obviously, being from Minnesota. Second of all, and this is in no particular order, adam is an experienced and creative fudge maker, and I mean, when I was growing up, fudge was basically reserved for Christmas time, right, so to see somebody making fudge all the time, that was awesome. But then the other thing was that Adam uses his TikTok profile, his TikTok account, to raise money to help pay off school lunches in his area. And did I also mention he makes fudge? So amazing to have you here. Welcome to the show, adam Dahl.
Speaker 2:Hey, thanks so much for having me, mike, I appreciate it. First of all, yeah, born and raised a scolder here, I've taught my kids to do the scold chant as well. Having me, Mike, I appreciate it. First of all, yeah, born and raised a Skulldrew here, yeah, I'm always. I've taught my kids to do the Skull chant as well.
Speaker 1:So Skull Yep, nice. I see Sam Donald's on his way to the Seahawks and, for God's sake, don't bring in Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 2:No, please, I might have to silently boycott a season. I'll still watch the game. I would boycott a season.
Speaker 1:Who are we kidding? We'll still watch. I can't do that, Except if he was here. That'd be like watching a car accident. You don't want to look, but you can't look away, right.
Speaker 2:Brett Favre was one thing.
Speaker 1:Aaron Rodgers, I can look, but you can't look away, right, brett farve was one thing. Aaron rogers, I can't do. Yeah, yeah, nope, that that's a. That's a line too far, but that's beside the point. Um, so, yeah, I mean, okay, so I watch you making fudge and you, you do a lot of it on the screen, right, you, you do a lot.
Speaker 2:I mean, you show like almost every step yeah, um, I do my best to hide my recipe as much as I can, but I think fudge is one just a fascinating thing to a lot of people. Anyway, it's a very American treat. I have plenty of people that come into my shop all the time that are from other countries, that are just kind of like what is this and how do you describe it to somebody that doesn't know? Because it's not a caramel, it's not fully a chocolate, it's not a brownie, it's not a cake, it's fudge. So the process is, in and of itself, it's fascinating to a lot of people. So it's a lot of fun for me to showcase that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I had no idea that people from other countries didn't know what fudge was.
Speaker 2:I have just kind of learned over the process of having this business for the last few years of kind of how fudge got started and most of it, I think, is kind of urban legend. I don't think anybody really knows. There's really no set actual fudge recipe and people can debate that all they want. You know my grandma's got the best recipe. My aunt had this recipe and this is what it truly is, but it's really there's. There are literally like 10 different kinds of like there's. There's different ways to make fudge, different ingredients. Some people use marshmallow, some people do corn syrup, some people do frosting and powdered sugar that they microwave at home and that that's not working on that one. But there are lots of ways to do it and so mine is just my own recipe that I've created over the last like 10 or so years and it's fun to show it off.
Speaker 1:Like I said, yeah, if I ever make it, I usually do that no bake, refrigerator fudge. It's not the same thing, but it's still it's good. It's not the same thing, but it's still good.
Speaker 2:How did you realize your love for fudge? Like you, it was always something that we had at Christmas time. I don't want to say it was like a super constant or that my mom had the best recipe. I think my mom would make it occasionally and I was a wrestler in middle school and high school, so wintertime was wrestling season. I'm on a diet anyway, but it was always something that, like at a holiday, I could be like, okay, cool, I can break my diet a little bit, have a piece of fudge and who am I kidding? I would have four or five, but, um, and so where I live in Lexington, kentucky, it's a college town, um, and a lot of our friends are transplants, like we are.
Speaker 2:We were not from Lexington, so we host Friendsgiving every year with all of our friends before everybody heads home for the holidays. So it was always kind of an extra dessert to put out. You know we do the turkey and ham and you know sweet potato casserole and my wife would make an apple pie and then I would just make fudge. And I noticed that it became something that our friends would look forward to, um, and talk about how great it was at Friendsgiving, and so I just kind of started making it. I would get excited around Halloween time to be like, okay, what can I do this year? What, what can I break off? And like what, what flavor can I try? Um, and so that's that's really kind of how it got started and how I realized that I've I've got something here, if enough people, enough my friends are at least encouraging me to make it and give something else a shot. Like that was enough for me to be like, okay, maybe this is good.
Speaker 1:For sure. So you, you like, went into full planning mode months in advance, and that's so. I think that's when you know that you're like destined to. If you put that much effort into it and that much time into it, that's when you know you probably should have a business right yeah and I think like it, I I'm.
Speaker 2:I'm a cook more than anything else.
Speaker 2:I'm not necessarily a baker, but I would find myself really getting excited about making it and how it kind of emerged from me just messing around in my kitchen to actually selling it was. There was a year where I found myself trying to make a bunch of different flavors and I would just bring them into the teachers at our daughter's daycare and like, hey, try this out, give it a shot. And of course they were raving about it, which was awesome and like a boost to my ego a little bit. But my wife in the back, I was kind of like stop spending all this money on ingredients, just like to just give it all away. Why don't you try to sell it? And so I just started an Instagram page where people could. I had just like a Google form where they could order. It was kind of a cottage kitchen situation which here in Kentucky you know, if you can make things out of your house, you got to follow the cottage laws, but that's really how it started and then just kind of grew from there.
Speaker 1:Yeah, wow, wow. And I'm interested in this whole thing because a lot of small businesses they start off selling through social media.
Speaker 2:But okay, which came first? Your brick and mortar came before TikTok, but my other social accounts came much earlier than everything else. I was on Instagram and Facebook selling that way for a year and a half two years, before I ever had the brick and mortar.
Speaker 1:Okay, and then so you grew this business making and selling fudge to the point where you could get a brick and mortar store.
Speaker 2:I mean, that's, that's pretty cool, it's honestly, it was kind of the perfect storm, a perfect set of circumstances for me, because I think when people see my shop through the lens of their phone screen and what my social accounts are and me dancing around and this, and that I think people have a different idea of what my shop is, and I can assure you that I can almost touch all the walls with my arms.
Speaker 2:It's 300 square feet. It actually started as a pie shop right next to a restaurant and I was to the point where I was doing farmer's markets and vendor events and selling online and it was 100% on the side. I was still in sales and I was picking up my daughter from school one day and my wife actually sent it to me but there was a for rent sign in the window and she was like, hey, this might be kind of the perfect thing Because I don't need a big storefront, I don't need tables, I don't need table service, I don't need a bunch of square footage. It's 300 square feet of me, with an electric stove, an electric range like you'd have in your house, a glass case with it and a three-compartment sink to clean everything up. So it's always been a grab and go concept and I think that for me it was and frankly for my landlords too like a perfect fit for just to have me in there and have the concept fit so well.
Speaker 1:Yeah, for sure, and you were right. Watching your videos, whether it's on Instagram or TikTok or wherever, it does seem like there's a lot of space in there, and maybe that's because you utilize different areas of it and it gives the impression that it's a huge space.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think most of the time my phone is up against a wall somewhere, so you're seeing it all the way from one side of the shop. But I think when the fire marshal came in to do my inspection he was just kind of, like you know, your capacity in here is probably like four people. If you happen to get seven or eight, good for you. Like you know, it's not the end of the world, but that's probably pushing it. So it's a lot smaller than people think.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's probably pushing it. So it is. It's a lot smaller than people think. Yeah, that's so cool. Um, so now, so you're making fudge what kind of process goes into, because you're always trying new flavors and new recipes, right? What kind of process goes into that?
Speaker 2:For me at least, when I was starting doing this, I kind of had the same mindset that you did and a lot of people do that Fudge is a holiday treat Okay, so that's November. It's brown Right is a holiday treat Okay, so that's you know, November, just brown Right. And so for me I was kind of like, okay, if I'm going to make this a full time thing, or at the time it was okay, I'm going to be selling at the farmer's market in 90 degree heat. You know, nobody's thinking about getting a melty piece of chocolate fudge at that time. So how do I get it to where it's July and people want a piece of my fudge? And that's where it became okay.
Speaker 2:I've got to come up with different flavors to match the seasonality for how things are going. So in the summertime I'm doing things like key lime pie, orange creamsicle, banana pudding, oh wow. And in the wintertime, at Christmas you know it's still the classics, but it's peppermint bark, maple, walnut, you know, valentine's Day, salted caramel, chocolate, like it's just. It's got to match the seasonality to try to create demand at a time that it's not normally demanding. But I will say one of my secrets is I found when I'm baking this stuff if you use extracts for flavoring, because the sugar is boiling and extracts are alcohol based. So when you put those into boiling sugar it reacts violently and you boil out a lot of the flavor. Alternatively, there's something called baking emulsions, which are water based, so you put those into boiling sugar, the water boils out, but the flavor stays behind, and that's really kind of my secret weapon. It's just you and me talking. There's no, you know. Yeah, devote any secrets here.
Speaker 1:This. This will be listened to by dozens of people. Um, so okay, that's, that's so cool. Now you have a really good reputation there in in Lexington, um, and you have a lot of community with a lot of the other businesses. I know you did. Would we call it a collaboration Mm-hmm? With a couple of businesses there when it comes to your fudge flavors? Can you talk about that a little bit?
Speaker 2:when it comes to your fudge flavors. Can you talk about that a little bit? Yeah, it's something that the local business community in Lexington is awesome. It's something that I'm sure exists everywhere else. But just how we all uplift each other, we're checking in constantly.
Speaker 2:You can connect with just random people that you wouldn't normally connect with, from different backgrounds, that just have all these amazing shops here in Lexington, and so it became actually the first one was they reached out to me is a bakery here in Lexington called Futile Bakery. They have the best cinnamon rolls and we've kind of gone back and forth Like I've gotten some of their stuff. They came in and they got an advent calendar a couple of a couple of years ago, which is something that I do with the holidays. It's a fun, it's fantastic. Uh, but they got one and they were like hey, would you ever think of, like, would you ever be interested in in doing a collaboration where something with our cinnamon rolls and I said, send them over, I'll get in the lab, We'll figure this out. And that was really honestly, my first kind of quote, unquote viral moment, if you will. It's the first video on TikTok that I had that went over 200,000 views, which I never had before. I was doing you know a couple hundred here and there was just putting the cinnamon rolls into my fudge and figuring out how that worked and it is unbelievable.
Speaker 2:The cinnamon rolls do the heavy lifting there but that sparked a bunch of other people reaching out. I had a pit master at one of the breweries here that was kind of like, hey, how can we collab? And I was like how are we going to put you know, pulled pork in the fudge? We did a maple bacon. He smoked a pork belly. That was fantastic, it was unbelievable. And I've done everything from that to I've done a Kentucky bourbon caramel popcorn. There's some stuff possibly with like cocktails and bourbon that we're going to be doing coming up. So it's, it's cool. Like I mean, the social aspect of it is a little bit of an outreach for other small businesses to want to partner up and see what kind of fun stuff we can do.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the creativity that goes into that on your end is just mind-boggling. You're like, okay, now how do I get pulled pork into it? Step into the lab, I like that yeah that would, uh, the pool.
Speaker 2:I'm glad that he was like you know what, I'll smoke a pork belly and we could do something with bacon, because if we were having pork, I don't know that would have really I would have been pulling out all the stops to figure that one out.
Speaker 1:I have crumbled bacon into a chocolate chip cookie recipe.
Speaker 2:That was awesome that's the way to go. The saltiness always yes, salty, sweet.
Speaker 1:Can't, can't, can't deny the the awesomeness of that um. So okay, now something that that you talk. You talk pretty openly about your relationship with your dad, um, and he's kind of an inspiring figure as far as because he went through a rough patch there but then he turned himself around. He went through a rough patch there but then he turned himself around and, um, and I love you said something that he always said was spread the message, not the mess. I love that story. Can you tell that story for us?
Speaker 2:yeah, absolutely. Um, so my dad uh passed in 2020. So a lot of you know kind of what I've done the last few years has been kind of inspired. But also, you know, when I was a kid he was not in our lives. He was. He was an alcoholic but he was, thank thank God, sober for almost 30 years, up a little bit in the AA community, just because when we would come visit him, you know we might hit an AA meeting on a Friday night before we go to his house for the weekend. Or when I would live with him for a couple of years, you know he was always hitting a meeting or you know, anytime I call him he'd be at the 430 holding court.
Speaker 2:But a lot of that culture is kind of some of these sayings and motivation and I never fully got the grasp if the spread the message, not the mess, was an AA thing or if that was him. His ability to turn a phrase, his intuition, his wit and his sense of humor were always something that really could rally a crowd around him. But that's something he would say a lot to the newcomers that would come to his centers is. You know, we're here to spread the message, not the mess. Everybody's got mess and the world has enough mess. We don't need any more mess.
Speaker 2:Let's focus on spreading the message, whatever that is and to me, as I've grown this business that's kind of become a mission statement for me of just how can I take what I've got, spread goodness, whatever that is. For some people it's simply the fudge. For others it's the message of a smile when you come into my shop. It's kindness in the community, it's being a safe place to come if you need a safe place. It's being a safe place to come if you need a safe place. That, to me, is something that's so important in what I'm trying to do with this business is be more than just fudge, because you know fudge you can get a lot of different fudge everywhere. I want to be the best fudge, but ultimately I want to be known for more than just the chocolate.
Speaker 1:Sure, sure. And to that end, you have taken the power of TikTok shall we say and you've utilized that to spread some good message in your community that to spread some good message in your community. When did you decide to start using TikTok, the creator fund, to start paying off lunch debt?
Speaker 2:So this came about really about eight weeks ago.
Speaker 2:It's been quite a whirlwind of a few weeks for me. Yeah, it's super recent, but I, you know, probably at the beginning of January maybe, I had like 1500 followers, full transparency. I kind of made a post that said hey, there's a lot going on in the world right now. This is what I believe, this is what my business is about. And that got me to a point where enough people supported me to put me over 10,000 followers. And at that point TikTok is saying hey, you can monetize this if you want.
Speaker 2:I saw a couple other creators doing it. There's a guy in North Carolina. His TikTok account is Lomax the Lorax. He got to the same point where he was like, hey, I'm going to take all this money and I'm going to donate it to student lunch debt in my community. And he got inspired from another account.
Speaker 2:Uh, she's a teacher in Utah. Uh, her account is Mrs Cactus vibes. She kind of does similar things where she's kind of dancing around to some music for a minute and, um, you know, they've got an almost $3 million debt in Utah for for lunches. So, oh my gosh, um, and I immediately connected with that, as I've got two, you know, elementary age kids and I was like the thought of their friends. Not being able to afford lunch like just devastates me, and again, I'm less than a block from their school. So that's kind of how it started. And then, once I kind of did some digging and realized how big the debt is for us here, it was kind of like, okay, it's my mission now. It's $36,000 as of February 7th, just for nine schools in our district.
Speaker 1:Everybody else is Title I, so it's my mission now, before the end of the school year, to get that paid off yeah, because you were doing a whole series there and you were kind of like leading up to the reveal of how much is owed out there and I remember watching that video and you, I, I was just like deflated, I'm like oh my god, it's that much still.
Speaker 2:And it's. It's crazy. I you know I don't think feeding children is a polarizing topic at all. Um, much like everything else, you know the the nuts and bolts of some of those things are political, but at the end of the day, it's like you know what. Whatever that takes to make sure that the families are taken care of, that need to be taken care of, I'll do it, I got to do it. And the TikTok is going to give me some extra money and it's ballooned beyond just the TikTok. You know, people are coming into my shop making cash donations, people are Venmoing me online and now it's kind of snowballed a little bit into OK, we're setting up a nonprofit fund to get this taken care of. You're going to be able to sponsor us for 5Ks coming up throughout the year. So, like I said, it's really become my mission to pay this off and make sure that our community doesn't have this debt at all.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and you know I think some people I mean I did a post the other day about what what did your lunchbox look like when you were in grade school? And I don't know why I remember this right. I'm like I can barely remember what I had for dinner two nights ago, but I remember vividly there was a TV show in the sixties called the rat patrol and I had a rat patrol lunchbox, right, and I looked online and it's like those are selling for like hundreds of dollars.
Speaker 2:If only you'd have had the close time to save it.
Speaker 1:But yeah, I know, right, I think I didn't even think it was a year old before I had one of the old thermoses and it had the glass inside and I think I dropped the lunchbox and the thermos broke and that was the end of that. But yeah, a lot of people said you know, well, I had a paper bag. I don't and I can't.
Speaker 1:I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around the richest country in the history of the world and kids can't afford to eat lunch and there's something wrong with that fundamentally and morally and on several other levels, but but this is, this is amazing what you're doing, and I realize it's not just you, but you're the person that I found, and I don't know if it's the algorithm, but now, every time I open up TikTok, all I'm seeing are ladies school teachers dancing for nice twerk, by the way. And you guys are going to have to go to his page and watch it. I'm not going to go into any more detail than that, but so you're kind of supporting a specific 5K coming up here, aren't you?
Speaker 2:I am. So part of this has been where now people are starting to reach out and say, hey, we've got this going on or I'm learning a lot of information about kind of how a lot of this process works. But I live in Fayette County, so the FCPS I think it's Association for Nutrition is what their official title is it's the Lunch Ladies. But they sent me information on a 5K that they do in May. It's called the Lunch Lady Hustle 5K and that raises money for scholarships for employees and for students. So they've invited me to participate as kind of a vendor. So we're going to set up a booth there, give away some fudge samples and some stickers and stuff.
Speaker 2:But I also like doing 5k. So I signed up for the race and I thought you know what? This is probably a great opportunity to fundraise beyond just the TikTok money, beyond just, you know, people coming in and giving me cash. What I'm going to do and I'm still working out the details on this, but I've created the doll who's fudge team on this race. You can sign up virtually as well. You don't have to be here in lexington. You can sign up virtually. If you join my team, you get a discount on your registration, um, and if you sign up for my team or if you make a donation online, you will get a Feed the Kids t-shirt.
Speaker 2:And what I wanted out of this, in addition to the donations, was really just to form a community here of this Feed the Kids kind of army. I want the whole race to be filled with t-shirts of Feed the Kids. I want Lexington and all across the country to be filled with t-shirts that feed the kids and really show kind of the strength and the community of this is what we can do when we're together and we put our minds towards something and we can again set aside a lot of the mess of this world and really just push out a message of unity, kindness, like community and really taking care of those in the community that need it the most yeah, for sure, and so now we'll have, and I just realized that this whole conversation I haven't mentioned the name of your fudge shop.
Speaker 1:Once it's doll who's fudge? Yes, sir, for pete's sake, we will have a have a link to your website in the show notes and I'll have Instagram and TikTok links as well, if somebody's listening and they go. Hey, I want to support that. They could do that through your website, right?
Speaker 2:Yeah, absolutely so. I ship all over the country directly from my shop website, right? Yeah, absolutely so. I ship all over the country directly from my shop so you can order online. That's kind of how I started was shipping out online and doing these in-person events. So I had the website for a long time. It was never meant to be as large a portion of my business as it's become over these last two months, but it is a big part of the business now and we really are shipping fudge all over the country and some people are saying it's the best fudge they've ever had, so I'm not going to argue with them. I'm also too, humble.
Speaker 2:I'm also happy to be second or third. If you know your mom or grandma's got a better recipe, that's totally fine with me.
Speaker 1:Don't mess with me, Maz Fudge I would never dream of that. But yeah, and it just goes back to the creativity, and you're putting out so much great stuff into the world, adam, and I really appreciate it. I appreciate you, I appreciate your fudge, I appreciate your message and thank you so much for taking a few minutes to come on and talk to me about this. I appreciate it.
Speaker 2:Absolutely. I really appreciate you having me on. Thank you so much. This has been super fun.
Speaker 1:Well, this episode is going to come out March 27th, so hopefully there'll be time to maybe get some more donations. You said that the 5k was in May.
Speaker 2:The 5k is in May. It is May 10th, so it's Mother's Day weekend, but by the time this episode comes out, I will have probably a lot more information on my social accounts. I've got meetings set up in the next week or so to get the nonprofit fund finalized. I should have t-shirts in hand by the time this episode comes out. So there's there will be a lot of moving parts in the next few weeks. So definitely go check out the socials, figure out if this is something that you want to support us in doing. You can absolutely do that in a variety of ways and there will be plenty of information on how to do that.
Speaker 1:Fantastic, I have to say before I go, I mean before we wrap this up Fantastic, I have to say. Before I go, I mean before we wrap this up, I also love your shop and the shirts that you wear. I love the fudge around and find out. I love Well, is it hashtag? Feed the kids.
Speaker 2:Yeah, hashtag feed the kids is something that I put've put on all the socials that I've done. Again, it's kind of a way for that community to just kind of build. I also do oh Fudge all the time. I've got some shirts that say get rich or die fudging, it's all, just it's fudge.
Speaker 1:It's supposed to be fun, it is.
Speaker 2:My personality is a big smile goofing off. You know I have plenty of teachers, I'm sure growing up called me the class clown or didn't pay enough attention or was trying to make people laugh too often and not doing what he's supposed to be doing. So now here I am still continuing to do that.
Speaker 1:It's all tongue-in-cheek and in good fun and you're making a living and making a difference in the world, doing it so fantastic. Thanks so much, adam. I appreciate your time and I appreciate what you're doing. Keep doing it and, yeah, we'll be in touch.
