About this deal

The box does suggest they are perfect for sharing but unfortunately there was no-one about, what a shame…. So over a cup of Tetley tea I munched my way through each chocolate number. Seriously moreish, each florentinewas deliciously chewy from the glossy caramel, the hazelnuts and almonds varied in size but were evident and come through with each bite, and the chocolate, albeit missing the signature wavy lines, was smooth and not at all synthetic or cheap tasting. My favourite was definitely the milk chocolate, the flavour and ratio was on point and complemented each other perfectly. The dark chocolate was the prominent all you could taste flavour and a tad off balancing, but still rather yummy. Oddly I thought the white chocolate florentine would be overly sweet however this wasn’t the case. To be honest it was pretty non-describ, I couldn’treally separate it from the nutty caramel and wouldn’t have known there was white chocolate on it had I not seen it. So in my eyes not really a florentine. Burton’s has bought the business from private equity firm Livingbridge, which acquired it in 2016 from the descendants of founder Thomas J Fudge. Originally a bread bakery, Fudge’s switched its focus to luxury biscuits in the 1980s, and produces Marmite biscuits made under license from Unilever. Burton’s Biscuit Co is to boost its presence in the premium biscuit market with the acquisition of Thomas Fudge’s.

Thomas Fudge’s is a great business with a fantastic portfolio of premium products and baking expertise handed down through generations.” We are excited about the opportunity to develop these three important pillars and look forward to working with our retail partners to drive growth through innovation and excitement in the category,” he explained, adding that Burton’s would work with its trade partners to build new category value with this premium capability. If you don’t want a mix of chocolate, Thomas. J. Fudge’s Florentines also comein larger form and in separate boxes. I would definitely buy these again, I like the option of the mixed boxes to give some variety yet I would equally be swayed by the larger milk or dark ones. Bravo Thomas. J. Fudges, finally some yummy florentines without orange peel! Florentines, nutty, caramelly & chocolatey, what could be more perfect? I don’t often buy florentines on the basis a lot on offer has orange peel in and that just isn’t right. Whilst surveying the treats in Waitrose I came across Thomas. J. Fudge’s Florentines, and anything that promises a marvellous merrymaking treasure box is something I cannot pass up.
