Motown expatriates claim source for Sander’s Hot Fudge

After reading that Erik Moll is looking for Sanders Hot Fudge, beloved of Motown expatriates, some of his fellow Taste of the Town readers wrote to say it's not available in Southern Nevada, but others beg to differ. They would be those in the know about Detroit Motor City Coney Island Restaurant at 19 S. Water St. in Henderson.

Tom Rosa, Eric Blum, Sandra Green and Marie Maleske all recommended Detroit Motor City, with Blum noting that they carry both milk and dark chocolate, Maleske reporting that they also carry Faygo pop and Tom Rosa adding that Better Made Potato Chips are available there. Mary McDonald and Mary Sherigan also reported that the hot fudge and the full line of Sanders' products can be ordered at www.SandersCandy.com (800-651-7263). ...
