Its One of Those Things
There doesn't seem to be any middle ground.
People Love It or Hate It!
I think it is an acquired taste. I think when I was a child, my mom would make it and it seemed so bitter. I was all about the brownies, or pies and cakes... SWEET! But fruitcake, nah not so much.
Of course I had to do a video about it LOL
Im a Fan of the Claxton Brand
Of course I'm not sponsored by them, I just like their product. I mean look at all that gooey goodness. What's not to like?!?! For only 5 bucks you get this solid brick of yummyness! I got this at my local market. I used to get them at Wallys but have not seen them yet this season.
Home Made or Store Bought?
I have not had a home made fruit cake in over 40 years LOL! I sure would like to try one of mom's fruitcakes now that I'm older. Sadly she is gone and that cannot happen. Oh and I had a buddy that was talking about sending me one, but I don't think that is going to happen. I'm not even sure if one can even send them in the mail? So, I guess its just me and Claxton.
Usually Store Bought Stuff is Cheap Tasting and Awful
However, with Claxton you get very little dough. Just enough to hold all the good ingredients together! They don't skimp on the goodies!
So What Do You Think?
Are you a fruitcake fan, or if you get one gifted, do you chuck it in the trash? Do they even do fruitcakes much in other places outside the States?? Let me know in the comments!
Thanks for stopping by!
