Claxton Fruit Cake – 5-Lb. Dark Recipe | Old Fashioned Holiday Fruitcake Packed in Signature Claxton Gift Carton | A Traditional Holiday Favorite 5 Pack

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!

Delicious!! Best fruitcake I’ve ever had other than what Grandma made. 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.

Good taste fruit cake good fresh fruit with nut Smell is like old fashion fruit cake years ago growing up as a child Very fresh and packed great Very moist. Good value for the price.

Yum, but a little, shall I say, aged. Still very good but a little dry. Maybe I’ll “soak” it in cheesecloth and bourbon.

Very nicely made and packaged. Taste is very good, loaded with candied fruit and nuts. A little smaller in dimensions than I'd expected, due to high density and moisture. It was different, more dense than the fruitcakes my mother used to make. One aspect of the cake was that it was crumbly when cut-I wasn't able to cut it into slices, Also, I couldn't taste any rum flavor but that was not a real problem.

These are so yummy I order them off season sometimes. Not much cake, all fruit! They hold together in a slice just fine. When I serve these my guests love them too. Fruitcakes get a bad rap with most people not liking them. But this one is awesome. They have been around for a long long time, too.

Claxton has a classic balance of nuts, dried and candied fruit, and cake, just like my mother used to make back on the farm in Kentucky. And the price is more than competitive with other makers.

I’m a fruitcake LOVER! My go to is the Trappist Abbey fruitcake and I buy it every Christmas. It’s a dark fruitcake & I love the well balanced flavor and it has the brandy flavor soaked in. It’s also around $26 for a 1lb square vs this Claxton 1lb rectangle for $14. So I thought why not give it a shot as it’s the top rated fruitcake? This is my 1st time trying the Light Claxton fruitcake. It’s good! It’s very moist & full of fruits and nuts. Here’s my main gripe and reason for the 4 star vs 5 star rating-it is VERY peel heavy. My first slice was overpoweringly lemony and orangey. In fact, that’s the only flavor I could discern! I was very disappointed. However, after putting the cut fruitcake into the refrigerator as it advised on the package, the next day and subsequent days the peel flavor mellowed slightly so I could detect other flavors. Not perfect and still lots of peel flavor but enjoyable. Be aware this is NOT a brandy or whisky or other alcohol inclusive fruitcake. You’ll need to add your own so buyer be aware!

I usually make my own fruitcake this time of year, but decided to buy fruitcake instead. read the reviews. Bought one order of this fruitcake. Delicious. Fruitcake is time consuming to make and costly. this was worth the price and will be doled out to happy guests and even happier hosts.

Thank you.
