Advantages: Tastes great

Disadvantages: Not good for you

I absolutely adore fudge, so when I saw a bag of Thorntons Vanilla fudge with 25% extra free for £1.25 in Morrisons, I couldn't resist picking up a couple of bags.

It comes in the usual hanging bag that sweets tend to come in, and it's easy to open, so no problems there. On the front of the bag it says that it's made with fresh clotted cream. My bag has a Best Before date of September, so it keeps for a good few months.

The fudge is in little cubes a little bigger than 1cm. You get quite a lot in the bag, and it does seem to me like good value for money. It's fairly soft textured and feels nice as it melts easily in the mouth. It's smooth and creamy, and doesn't have any little pockets of sugar in it that you often get with cheaper fudges. It also has quite a light feel to it, and is not too heavy on the stomach. It tastes absolutely divine, smooth, creamy and not too sweet. The quality is really reflected in the taste, it's just lovely.

Each 100g of the fudge gives you 500 calories, 69.5g of sugar, and 23.5g of fat (17.8g of which is saturates), so it's obviously a luxurious treat and not something to be eaten too often.

I've just noticed on the back of the pack it says that the fudge is dusted with icing sugar to prevent the pieces from sticking together, but I didn't notice any icing sugar, so it must only be a very small amount that is used.

This is the best fudge I've had in a long time, and I'll definitely be buying it again!

Summary: Verynice fudge
