San Antonio General Store

The general store doesn't look like much from the outside, and San Antonio, NM isn't generally a place a lot of tourists stop except for those 2 times a year the Trinity Site is open. However, next time you're driving I-25 you should really take the exit for San Antonio, NM and try the fudge at the General Store. It's some of the creamiest and most flavorful fudge we have had. They also have ice cream, cold drinks, and all the other necessities of a reasonable road-trip stop, but the fudge is pretty much worth making this a destination in its own right! November 2, 2018: Might as well update, and keep the 5-star rating current. There are not a lot of reasons to make regular trips to San Antonio, NM, but we make a point of stopping by this little general store nearly every time we are south of Socorro on I-25. We stop for the fudge, which may well be some of the best in the world. The flavors are rich and intense. We pick up a half-pound or so of the Amaretto every time we stop, then savor it for about a week after. I think we got a little more than that this time, and expanded our horizons to Chewy Praline and Capuccino. Yum!! We also expanded to the selection of ice cream. It's not site-made, small-batch like the fudge, but it is very well sourced and managed at the correct temperatures to retain all the soft, creamy qualities of ice cream and sorbet you could wish for. From April through October, this stretch of I-25 is on the order of sweltering, and that ice cream is the best cold treat for about 50 miles in either direction. It wasn't hot on this November afternoon, but the raspberry sorbet and rainbow sherbet were wonderful nonetheless.
