E.L. Fudge is a brand of cookies produced by the Keebler Company, a division of Ferrara Candy Company. These cookies are known for their distinctive shape, which resembles the Keebler Elves, and their rich, creamy fudge filling.

History[edit | edit source]

The E.L. Fudge cookies were introduced by the Keebler Company in the 1980s. The name "E.L. Fudge" stands for "Everybody Loves Fudge," reflecting the product's target market and the company's marketing strategy. The Keebler Elves, who are central to the brand's identity, were created by the Leo Burnett Company in 1968 and have been a staple of Keebler's advertising campaigns ever since.

Product Description[edit | edit source]

E.L. Fudge cookies consist of two shortbread cookies with a layer of fudge filling sandwiched between them. The cookies are shaped like the Keebler Elves, with intricate details that make them easily recognizable. The fudge filling is made from a blend of chocolate and other ingredients, giving it a smooth and creamy texture.

  • Double Stuffed: Featuring an extra layer of fudge filling.

  • Original: The classic version with the standard fudge filling.

Marketing and Advertising[edit | edit source]

Manufacturing[edit | edit source]

E.L. Fudge cookies are manufactured in various facilities operated by the Keebler Company. The production process involves baking the shortbread cookies, preparing the fudge filling, and assembling the final product.
