Fudge Kitchen

WHY IS THE FUDGE SO GOOD AND WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE FATTENING. #vainproblems.
So, on a recent weekend trip to Cambridge, we popped in here because my friend who is a Cambridge Student told me that this place gives out free samples. (if you’ve read my previous reviews– I LOVE FREE SAMPLES– I’m a free sample’s giver’s wet dream– I will 90% buy after I tried it, because I have problems with budgetting and my stomach))
Anyways, I tried the salted caramel and sea salt dark choc and I loved both but in the end went for the latter because it wasn’t AS sweet and I’m a dark choc fiend. It was buttery, soft, and oh, so good. I bought slab as a house gift for Becky, because I was heading to hers after and I think between Teresa, Becky and I, we kind of, maybe demolished a good bit of it. So you know it’s good, if 3 elites have half demolished it.
Service was friendly as well, the guy behind the counter has nice arms, which we commented on, and he told us that they have carry about 10kg of fudge A DAY. Who knew fudge was linked to fitness in a good way. So even if you’re not losing weight, at least you know someone is getting fit, somewhere.

Notre guide pour Cambridge nous a conseillé d’aller chez prendre un échantillon gratuit de leur chocolat car apparemment les prix n’était pas donné… Echantillon de nourriture gratuit? Je né me fais pas prier et heureusement que c’était gratuit parce je n’ai pas aimé, vraiment pas aimé. Je pensais que c’était du chocolat, mais d’après Wikipédia c’est «une confiserie anglaise très sucrée et très calorique «. Sucré est le maitre mot, j’ai vraiment eu l’impression d’avaler une sorte de pâte de sucre.
Non merci !
Our city guide recommended us to stop by JF Fudge Kitchen to grab a fudge sample as it’s pricey. Well, don’t need to remind me twice, when it comes about free stuff I’ll be there. I thought it was a chocolate shop but I recently found out that fudge is a British sweet. Oh dear, I’ve never eaten something that sugary: O I really didn’t like it sorry.

Free samples, interesting flavors and it’s quite fun to watch them making the fudge. It’s pretty expensive though. The consistency is rather soft and wettish, better let it air-​dry for a day or two ;)
But the drinking fudge is just amazingly good!

Lovely fudge! Yum. Loads of flavours and they let you try before you buy!

Very friendly staff, free samples, delicious smells and v tasty.

This place is an experience – you can watch them making the fudge in the front of the shop and buy a hunk of it 5 minutes later. They’re always giving out a sample of something and if you leave and come back a bit later you can taste something different.
I got a piece of chocolate rum fudge and a piece of strawberry raspberry cream fudge, which was the «manager’s special»
MMMMM
It’s the super creamy melt in your mouth kind of fudge – not a hint of crystallization. The folks working here are very friendly and helpful, too.

Often wonder how these places still exist that are on busy streets and still give away free samples. Sitting directly opposite King’s College it gets plenty of visitors and even just standing by the window and watching them make the fudge is nearly enough to make you run in and buy it. They have a good selection of flavours, the usual rum and raisin and the not so usual as well. As it’s a speciality store then the prices are a bit higher than buying it in a supermarket but it is pretty good value for money for where it is. Just don’t eat too much though.

YUM. This stuff is seriously dangerous, and, unfortunately, none too cheap. But the theatre of watching it being made in front of you is great fun, the range of flavours is outstanding, and it tastes like heaven. Take plenty of samples so you’re quite sure about which one/​s to pick!

If you walk past the Fudge Kitchen, the smell alone will be enough to make your feet wander through the front door. A very small shop, the quality of fudge produced is amazing. You can watch them spread out the liquid fudge on a table at the front of the shop — a sight in itself so sensual that you feel yourself immediately reaching for your wallet, as you know you wont leave empty handed.
If you are overwhelmed with all the different flavours, the staff are always willing to let you have a tester, which often results in you wanting to buy them all!
The staff are very friendly and the fudge fantastic. The pieces are relatively pricy, but definitely worth it, and make a great gift to take to a dinner party.

My step-​mum loves this stuff and whenever I am in Cambridge near Christmastime I do indulge for her sake and try for the special offers last time they had a Four for Three offer, but as others have rightly said it is a tad too expensive for a mere whim I find the making of it fascinating though they make it on a gigantic marble slab in front of you with a large paddle like thing and I do taste the free samples and sometimes take two or three pieces especially if I am going to be buying from them anyway The rum and raisin is to die for and also the maple and walnut They have strange ones too like lemon meringue and personally I love the soft texture but for some of you hardy fudge eaters you may find it too soft and gooey!!!

Yuk Yuk Yuk yuk YUk
If you have ever tasted real fudge then you know this has got the consistency of dishwater. It is very pasty and probably hasn’t been cooked enough. The only time I had it I was tereibly ill afterwards. I would stear well clear. It is also very expensive for what it is.

The Fudge Kitchen totally duped me. I thought it was a one off. A wonderful Cambridge quirk. Unique as a house of fudge fun.
Then I travelled the country a bit more and discovered it’s a chain! There’s one in Edinburgh! and Canterbury!
So they deliberately choose olde towns that give the impression that they would 0have an independant fudge making shop.
Well, after the disappointment of finding out the Fudge Kitchen was not unique to Cambridge, I forgave it, and indulged.
They do little free samples, and you can see them making the fudge at certain times — a nice treat (or trick) for tourists.
There’s a selection like you’d find in an ice cream parlour. The slabs are about a fiver a go, which is a lot, but when I was there last they did a loyalty card thing which basically meant buy 2, get the 3^rd free. Not great for tourists, but for buying a weekly or fortnightly bit of lovely jubbly fudge, works a treat.

The Fudge Kitchen
Step inside for a free sample unless you feel intimidated by the empty shop and the wide eyes of the staff, luring you to buy their devilishly pricy slabs of heaven. Yes, the fudge is spun by angels, its smooth, buttery existence barely tangible as it dissolves on the tongue of the tempted. But can we be satisfied with only a bite? And can we afford to turn £5.00 into a slab of transient pleasure? The sign at the door of the Fudge Kitchen has been sent to separate the week from the strong. Unless you are brave enough to walk into an empty shop, sample this fudge, then turn and walk away with a polite ‘thank you, good afternoon!’ then beware; even eye-​contact with the fudge-​makers may lead to devastation.
(Beware especially the peanut butter and chocolate flavour.)
