On Friday, Johnson and Ryba's Fudge came to the Grosse Pointe Park elementary school to discuss the legislative process and demonstrate how fudge is made.
Johnson also shared with the students that a bill has been introduced into the State Senate that would fulfill the students suggestions.
Additionally, representatives from the family owned-Ryba's Fudge brought portable 400-pound marble tables and the other tools of the trade to make fresh batches of fudge for the students.
