Dark Recipe | Old Fashioned Holiday Fruitcake Packed in Signature Claxton Gift Carton | A Traditional Holiday Favorite 5 Pack : Grocery & Gourmet Food Review: Great fruitcake that I hope never changes - Mom hated fruitcake so as a kid, so naturally, us kids hated fruit cake too. Fruitcake became a joke in our house at holidays, kind of like the "Life" cereal commercial. Once I left the house and traveled the country (and the world), I started trying new things. I don't know where or when it was, but one year I had the opportunity to try Claxton's. I think it was on sale, and I bought some and gave it a shot. Whoa! This was actually super delicious, rich and sweet. The candied fruit (usually the part we hated) was actually tasty. Claxton's fruit is delicious, the fruit has a hint of that aroma and flavor that turns some people off, but not much. The candied fruit is delicious. Then there's the nuts and cake part, all tasty, nothing weird. It's also super moist. Sorry mom, I really like fruitcake. Is Claxton's high end expensive fruitcake, no, but it is high quality and worth every penny. They have a recipe that's iconic, I'm so glad they haven't changed anything. You can rely on the taste. Claxton's is a good fruitcake to offer people that hate fruitcake. The only problem is fruitcake haters a are pretty stubborn lot. You probably won't change their minds, but that's OK, they're missing out, Claxton's great! Review: Best fruitcake ever - Christmas last year was the first time I tried Claxton Fruit Cake. Some I've had in the past was not good, so I did my research to see what reviews people were giving for fruit cake. Claxton was at the top. I got a bargain price and decided to try it. This cake was more than delicious! The loaves are moist, chocked full of fruit and nuts. The taste was not artificial but like old fashioned fruit cake from years gone by. This fruit cake is not just for the holidays. It's a must have all year round. I will absolutely continue to buy this product. ## Features - CLASSIC HOLIDAY FRUIT CAKE – Since 1910, Claxton fruit cake has been a seasonal tradition.

It was packed with a variety of chunky candied fruits and whole nuts, not just a mesh of raisins and an occasional cherry with a blend of indistinguishable crushed nuts. Surprisingly, this quality product was very fairly priced and a great value. A fruitcake that I had purchased from a local specialty bakery didn’t come close to the goodness and quality found in Claxston’s. Will definitely purchase again and plan to stock up. Highly recommend. BTW— I very rarely ever review products, but I was motivated to do so because this was so good. ## Frequently Bought Together - Old Fashion Claxton Fruit Cake - 5-1 Lb.
