GOURMET HANDMADE FUDGE

Apologies for all who are awaiting their monthly Fudge Bars. FudgePots has unfortunately been struck down by a vicious bug that is circulating around South Wales. This is a peril that micro-businesses face; we have a shortage of manpower but we cannot handle or package fudge until we are germ-free. The next Monthly Subscription bars will now be postponed until 1 March (the next delivery date). To try to make up, however, we will add an extra free Fudge Bar to the end of all subscriptions currently in existence, so you will get seven rather than six months’ worth of fudge. Apologies and sincere thanks for all your custom.

If you haven’t tried gourmet fudge before, prepare for a wonderful experience. Inspired by cookery influences from Cardiff to Kolkata, and with the happy addition of an old Welsh recipe, FudgePots offer you three Collections of handmade fudge in mouthwatering flavours. But whether it’s exotic Spiced Masala, you’d-never-know-it-was-Vegan Chocolate Coconut, or reliably delicious Rich Vanilla, FudgePots fudge always has three things in common: indulgent, buttery notes of honey and caramel; a melting interior; and a fine, creamy surface patina.

This is fudge — but not as you know it!

FudgePots Christmas Fudge Collection LR.jpg

“Fudge is best eaten in private — or with friends. It is delightful with morning coffee — luxurious after dinner. It is the finishing touch at parties, and a perfect private treat. Handy when you’re peckish, delicious when you are not. Try it with Indian tea, Italian coffee, and good Champagne. A special gift for a friend — or an indulgence just for you”

FUDGEPOTS ETHICS

All FudgePots fudges are naturally vegetarian or vegan, and free of gluten, palm oil, colourings and other artificial additives. (To be honest, we wouldn’t know where to buy an E-number even if we wanted one!). FudgePots uses organic and Fairtrade ingredients where possible, and glassine paper bags (not plastic) to help benefit the environment

TOP MARKS FOR hYGIENE

FudgePots fudge is freshly prepared and packaged in the Vale of Glamorgan, South Wales, and has the highest Food Standards Agency hygiene rating of five stars.

THE COLLECTIONS

FudgePots has three Collections: Original, Spiced and Vegan. They are made by hand in small batches using all-natural ingredients (no gluten, palm oil, or artificial preservatives or colouring) and come in plastic-free packaging. The Original Collection offers perennial favourites such as Vanilla, Chocolate, and Christmas Cake. The most popular flavours are Vanilla and Salted Caramel (maybe because it’s made with Himalayan pink rock salt - nothing but the best!) The Spiced Collection uses Indian spices to create layered flavours not often found in European confectionery: fragrant, piquant and savoury-sweet. The Vegan Collection stands out because most of the flavours were invented as original flavours in their own right, using plant-based Indian cookery skills, rather than adapted from the dairy range. The most popular vegan fudge is Chocolate Coconut which is our third most popular flavour overall (it seems non-vegans enjoy it just as much as vegans). Learn more or order below:

OUR story

FudgePots was dreamt up by Rita, whose Bengali father brought her up to cook and enjoy all types of Indian cuisine, and Catrin, who is all-Welsh, and whose mother contributed our original fudge recipe. Food has been a driving force in each family and we wanted to use both influences to create something new. Rita spiced the first fudge with cumin, black nigella and white mustard. Catrin had been somewhat dubious about all this, but one bite was enough to change her mind! A posse of local amateur fudge tasters (the neighbours were always keen to help!) also loved the sweet, spicy flavours. Armed with a trestle table, a ravishing fuschia sari and armfuls of fudge, FudgePots made its first public appearance at a tiny Christmas market in Penarth. Customers not only snapped up fudge on the spot; afterwards, they found the website and ordered more online. Even better, we were approached by two farmers’ markets, and started selling on a regular basis.

After an exciting year of markets and food festivals, Covid-19 threatened to put it all to an end. However, customers realised FudgePots could deliver across the UK, online sales shot up, and word of mouth spread even more. Christmas in 2020 and 2021 were tremendous successes, helped by a gorgeous new packaging design. Since then, we’ve continued selling online and also at food festivals and country shows across South Wales — see our Twitter feed for updates

FINALLY . . . AN AIDE TO HAPPINESS

As all sensible people know, there are four major food groups. Proteins for strength, fats for reserves, vitamin for health, and treats for happiness. We are pleased to help you address this fourth, very important food group: squirrel your fudge away for a private moment, or use it to delight those around you :)
