MONTREAL -- A fundraiser in Montreal's Notre-Dame-de-Grâce (NDG) neighbourhood is not fudging around thanks to a delicious proposition.

NDG resident Barbara Sidorowicz decided to make fudge and sell it for $10/lb to raise funds for local non-profit organizations.

After initial sales began to soften, two local contractors put forth a challenge to Sidorowicz: make 100 lbs of fudge singlehandedly in 48 hours. If she could do it, they'd buy the whole homemade lot.

Dubbed the 'NDG Fudge-A-Thon,' Sidorowicz gathered her sugar, butter and milk and got to work on Friday evening. By Sunday night, she had surpassed her gooey goal and made a whopping 130 lbs of fudge.

"It's been every day non-stop pretty much from 8 o'clock in the morning till 6:30 - 7 o'clock at night," she said. 

With that additional $1,300, she managed to raise almost $5,000 in two weeks.

Sidorowicz manages Facebook group NDG Living, so she decided to put out an online survey to determine which local charities will split the donations.

"I've made over 500 pounds of fudge and raised over $5,000," she said.

The group decided to split the proceeds among three local charities: the Depot, Project Chance and a person who makes care packages for the homeless.

The fudge-off isn't done yet, though; Sidorowicz will continue creating the confectionaries until Friday.

She already feels like she'll be making a bunch of more fudge next season.

"We've raised so much money that I don't think I could not do it again," she said.
