Long awaited fudge review!

Mon Jul 29, 2013 10:53 pm

Family was in town and I was busy as all hell. But without further delay, here we go!
This will be in a similar format as the cookie review.

White chocolate, cake batter, confetti, fudge bars:
I had the recipe link somewhere, but I can't find it....

First Fudge Impressions: Well packaged and still fresh, just like the cookies. Came in the same ziplock baggies and all arrived in a solid state, nothing broken. Were white and colorful.

First Good Look: Well sized, square blocks of colorful white fudge. I liked the size, because fudge is usually very, very, rich. So they need to be eaten in small portions, as to not overload your taste buds. nothing is worse than getting a giant bar of fudge that you can only take 4-5 bites out of, until you have to put it back into storage. There was 9 in the pack, so there was certainly enough to share!

First Touch: I made sure to pick one up in a cool-ish area, because I didn't want it to melt all over my hands. It was nice that the fudge didn't melt due to my body temp and get my fingers all sticky. Not super heavy and it fit easily into the palm of my hand. Had no issues holding it with just 2 fingers. I want to point out, that fudge that breaks apart when you pick it up is a sign of it being old, and poorly stowed. This did not happen, so that was nice.

Omnomnom...Nomnom....Nom: I'd like to start this out with my personal preferences with what this was made out of. I absolutely love cake batter foods. Cake batter shakes from Coldstone are godly. But I was a bit skeptical of the white chocolate, because I don't very much care for it. So I was interested on how these 2 would mesh together for me. I took a decent bite from the corner of the fudge bar. It was very soft and moist and didn't flake/crumble like the shitty fudge does. I was hit immediately with a strong, cake batter taste, mixed with some of the small crumbly confetti pieces. Yum! I was totally expecting to be hit with that hard, white chocolate taste, since it was fudge, but that never happened. It was actually very mild and maybe a bit sweeter than most white chocolate foods that I've tasted. So I think the combo was highly successful. It was definitely rich, like most fudge. You can't just gobble this down as you would a cookie. Gotta take your time. Which is why the size is so important.

End: A very good choice for people who like fudge! This is a bit harder to explain to people who have never tried cake batter foods. But if you ever stuck your finger into the batter of the birthday cake that your mom was making and liked it, this is exactly like that, but in fudge form! The cake batter flavor takes a shotgun to your tongue and fades away shortly there after, making room for a light, white chocolate taste with the little confetti pieces. I would also recommend something to drink, like a tea, much like the cookies. This is obviously a quality product, made with quality ingredients. Fudge lovers will want to get these over the cookies. The fudge will also last longer than the cookies will, as you cannot just mow them down one after another.

Thanks for reading!

One of the positives of holidaying in an English seaside town are there are looooaaaadssss of home made fudge shops, I've eaten more fudge than should be humanely possible this last few days. (That and drank a lot of beer, there is a very conveniently placed pub ${L_SMILIES_RAZZ}$ )
