First up, Trader Joe's Hot Honey Fudge. True to the name, there's a whisper of distinctly honey sweetness. The "hot" part of the equation isn't particularly noticeable on the front of the palate when you first bite into the candy, but rather it creeps up on you and tingles the back of your throat at the finish. I'm surprised how much I like these. The heat isn't overwhelming if you're used to spicy food, but there's enough of a kick to make it quite interesting. I like this candy just a bit better than the other one.
Next, Trader Joe's Clotted Cream Fudge. This one's creamier, sweeter, and richer, and Sonia prefers this one over its spicy cousin. It has a more indulgent flavor, and the flavor isn't a far cry from that of butterscotch. Both fudges are soft and easy to bite into, with a melt-in-the-mouth quality as you chew.
Each box contains 10-12 pieces of fudge and will run you $2.99. We'd buy either one again in the future. They'd make great stocking stuffers for the fudge fanatics in your life. We've also checked out Trader Joe's Maple Flavored Fudge and Trader Joe's English Butter Fudge, in case you're interested.
Sonia will give seven and a half out of ten stars to Trader Joe's Hot Honey Fudge and she'll give eight out of ten to Trader Joe's Clotted Cream Fudge. I'll go with seven and a half for the hot honey selection and an even seven for the clotted cream offering. In the end, they'll both average out to the same score.
Trader Joe's Hot Honey Fudge: 7.5 out of 10.
Trader Joe's Clotted Cream Fudge: 7.5 out of 10.
Trader Joe's Clotted Cream Fudge: 7.5 out of 10.
