Locally-made fudge, regarded by many as the best-tasting in the world, is now available online.

Sally Thorpe - a member of the Whitaker family of confectioners - has launched the "Simply Fudge" web-based shop.

The fudge, which has been hand-made for several generations, has previously been sold in the family's shop on Skipton High Street, but this is the first time it has been available over the internet.

And it is the first of several lines of confectionery which Sally will be launching under the "Simply" banner.

Sally, 43, said: "The fudge uses only natural ingredients to create a very soft and crumbly texture, unlike many other varieties available today. It's all still made by hand."
