3-1 Lb. Regular Recipe 3-Pack | Old Fashioned Holiday Fruitcake Packed in our Traditional Claxton Carton | Famous For Quality And Value For Over 115 Years |

I am one of those seemingly rare people who loves Fruitcake. The Claxton Fruit Cake is the perfect size without being too much. It is one of the best tasting, high quality fruitcakes I've had, with good moisture & the perfect tasty dried fruit ingredients. The fruit cakes are packaged so they arrive in great condition. I love that I can order any time of year to satisfy my fruit cake cravings. I just freeze the logs that I'm not going to eat immediately. They still taste great when thawed for a tasty treat. Great value for the money & way easier than running from store to store looking for this particular brand.

What more can I say? Hadn't had fruitcake in literally 30 years, developed a craving for some last week and bought this Claxton. I hit the jackpot, it was everything I wanted and more! My taste buds were thrilled! Superb fruitcake! Worth every penny and more.

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!

Fruitcake is like potato salad. ("Say Wha-a-a?") I mean, there are a dozen-plus versions of portato salad (one even favors vinegar!), but most of us prefer the one we first came to know as kids. Claxton’s tastes just like the delicious fruitcakes my mother made when I was a child. Subjective or not, here's what makes Claxton fruitcakes so dang good: (1) Cake-to-fruit ratio. It's about 50/50, although the fruit may win by a skosh. That, IMHO, is the tastiest ratio. (Your mileage may vary) (2) The fruit tastes GOOD. Frequently, candied fruit has a chemical taste, especially candied cherries. But I’ve never detected that in a Claxton. (3) Low Rent. We know a person can buy cans of inexpensive mixed nuts--but invariably, 50%-or-more of the can will be “lowly peanuts.” Similarly, "cheap fruitcake" often goes heavy on raisins throughout the cake, with showy colored fruit only along the top surface. NOT so with Claxton. In addition to the fruit, it contains a satisfying quotient of quality chopped nuts. (4) Speaking of which, as an avid baker myself, I’m intrigued that Claxton can place chopped nuts in its batter, yet they're not the least soggy. I suspect they go that extra mile, and toast the nut pieces BEFORE adding them to the batter. As my mother used to say: “Class will always out.” (5) Shrewd Configuration. A lot of fruitcakes are big, shaped like a door wreath or an aspiring cinder block. The problem with either is that within 2-4 days, when half that cake is still uneaten, the remaining portion ceases tasting fresh--too much surface area. Alternatively, no matter how many pounds of Claxton fruitcake you buy, each pound is a separately sealed "stick", like an elongated cube of butter. So, that shape means only the small end of the stick is open to the air (if you fail to wrap it after opening it). Meanwhile, each 1-lb. stick is so well sealed, that it will be delightfully fresh when you open it – even weeks after receiving it. (I store any unopened "sticks" in the refrigerator for a month or more, with no subsequent regrets.) (6) Dark Cake Version. I’m of the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" genus. As such, I'm so keen about the "regular cake" version that during the decade-plus I’ve been eating Claxton, I've never strayed from the light, and succumbed to the dark. You’ll have to be your own pioneer regarding this alternative version. Johnny Carson, the late, TONIGHT SHOW host, had a decades-long running gag that there were only six fruitcakes in the U.S. He added "It just seems like more because nobody wants ‘em, and people keep re-gifting those six." Well, I've re-gifted a few other presents in my life, but NEVER a Claxton. Conversely, if you discover the Claxton is NOT to your liking (you probably like that potato salad with vinegar, too, right?), please don’t hesitate re-gifting YOUR Claxton to ME.

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.

The best fruit cake you can buy. Value for your money

I really like fruitcake and this isn’t bad at all. This passed my taste for fruitcake and price is just okay
