Verdict: Not as scrummy as they sound

These Toffee and Fudge Muffins do sound appealing with a 'Moist Toffee Maple flavour sponge packed with Rich Caramel Fudge Pieces'
- truth is, they don't quite live up to the description.

The muffins look lovely. They are HUGE with a big golden brown 'Muffin Top' and a soft squidgy base. There aren't many cracks on the top of the muffin which immediately suggests that it's quite dense.
They smelt mildly of maple syrup but nothing too tempting. The surface was fairly dry and smooth; not sticky as I was expecting.

Breaking the muffin in half, I was disappointed with the inside. It looked like a slab of golden case. Usually, muffins are 'airy' and 'spongy' with lots of little holes in the cake but there wasn't any. This meant that, whilst eating, the cake was very stodgy and difficult to swallow. There was no moisture to it at all.

Next, the 'carame fudge peices'? I was expecting the chewy little fudge bits but there were NONE. In fact, the muffins actually contain tiny dots of very soft caramel sauce, not 'fudge pieces'. The caramel sauce was negligible; just a couple of tiny dots that added no flavour or moisture to the cake at all.

The Muffin itself lacked flavour. It tasted very lightly of maple and were not a sweet as I was expecting. There would need to be a lot more caramel sauce to added something to these.

Overall, the description was misleading, unless I got a dodgy batch. They were stodgy and hard to swallow and lack flavour and sweetness. They definitely aren't worth consuming the several of hundred calories.
