Cadbury Fudge Cakes

My Mum often likes to bring back different products for the family to try out (or either it is out of date and dropped to a low price) and she came back with a Cadbury’s product. 'Cadbury's Fudge Cake's to be exact. I like Cadbury's Fudge Bars - so I was expecting to like these cakes.

She got them from the super market down the lane: Kwik Save. I noted that the label on them states that they cost £1.18 pence.

The wrapper ...
...mixed with purple. I actually thought it was a multi pack of Fudge bars at first because the wrapper looked so similar to that of the Cadbury's fudge bar. You get 6 Fudge cakes in a packet. I remember that the calories were roughly equal to an average cake bar.

I do remember that they are suitable for vegetarians; however they are not for people suffering nut allergies. (I do remember that because my sister suffers from nut allergies).

The wrapper covering the Fudge bars was bright shiny orange mixed with purple.

Once you open the box and slide out the tray they are in, you will notice that they are actually smaller than what you may have been expecting - and there is a lot of spare space in the tray. Each cake bar is about 6 inches long and 2 inches thick. They are not wrapped individually so they do not require any more unwrapping.

They smelt kind of sweet and I wasn't sure about it to be honest.

The Fudge cakes are layered with plain chocolate, not milk chocolate, which is a problem I feel. The packaging and name leads you to believe that these will be like the actual chocolate Fudge bars available, but actually they are not. The fudge is underneath the top layer of chocolate. The Fudge is placed on top of a dark chocolate sponge which acts as the main 'structure' of the cake.

What do these Cadbury’s Fudge Cakes taste like?. I remember biting in to it and tasting the dark chocolate sponge. Texture wise the plain chocolate that encased the whole cake really did seem like plastic to me and the sponge was really dry in my opinion. The fudge was sweet, and rather sickly. I was left with some after taste from the fudge - so i had to wash it away with water. I really was not like the Cadbury's Fudge Bars I have eaten before.

The cakes are not filling, but I would not grab for another - as I really did not find the taste appealing at all. It was very dry in my opinion and the dry dark chocolate sponge accompanied with the sickly fudge really is not a nice sensation to have in the mouth.

My family were not too keen on these cakes, apart from my dad who really likes dark chocolate. He ate the remaining few.

The bottom line in my opinion is that these are a waste of money, and taste nasty! You are lead by the packaging and name that they are going to be similar to the Fudge bars, but they do not taste anything like them. A miss in my opinion.
