IS SUPERMARKET FUDGE ANY GOOD?

Today I decided to look in the top 5 supermarkets for some fudge, all had it in stock but i had a criteria in my mind, The fudge couldn't just be in a plastic bag, it had to be made with butter and have NO artificial flavorings or colourings.
All the supermarkets met my criteria but which was the least expensive? and was it any good? lets find out!

The one i chose was Tesco, this was the least expensive out of the 5 and also was in a nice little cube box, it has no artificial flavorings or colourings and from reading the ingredients on the back I cant see that it has any artificial preservatives either, in fact the ingredients read and are the same as lots of other quality fudges on the market today which are a lot more expensive!

Opening up the box the fudge is packed in an air tight clear film bag which almost fills the whole size of the cube box its packaged in and from first impressions looks value for money.

After taking the bag out the box i decided to have a count up and see how many chunks of this wonderfully coloured, mouthwatering confection iv got, I count 15 good sized chunks and i cant wait to open the bag!.
Fudge is a typically English confection but rummer has it that it was the Americans who invented this tasty treat.

I empty the bag and start to explore the chunks, all look to be different sizes although some are uniformed, this gives me the impression that the fudge looks like any other fudge iv seen and tasted in typically English seaside shop, the colour is good a light brown not too dark and i can see little surgery Crystals on the fudge which form as the fudge starts to set.

 I can resist no longer and pop a chunk in my mouth, The first thing that hits your taste-buds is the smooth tasting butter quickly followed by that glorious fudgey toffee flavour all lovers of this confection like, the fudge just seems to melt away in your mouth its not at all hard or chewy, Its soft and the sugar crystals are so small they evaporate on impact of hitting the inside of your mouth. Id say this fudge has been well beaten after the initial boiling stage to get it this smooth.

Summing up!

Now im a fudge connoisseur or should be after making the stuff every day for well over 10 years and iv got to say this fudge is good fudge, it don't leave an acrid taste at the back of your throat you sometimes get with less expensive ingredients, or badly made fudge.
This fudge makes your taste buds explode in a mouthwatering array of buttery toffeeness and you just want to pop the next chunk in just to make sure your senses are right. Have to say Iv only got 3 chunks left!!

If you want to have a mouthwatering fudge experience then Id run along to your nearest Tesco and pick up a pack today i assure you, you wont be disappointed!


Happy Eating!
