I don’t buy Mr Kipling’s Fondant Fancies very often, and have been disappointed by some of their ‘new’ products in the past. For example, a halloween special that is the regular Fondant Fancy but coloured orange, I don’t know how I didn’t implode in excitement. Anyway this Christmas they have actually brought out a proper new flavour so I grabbed myself a box of these new Mr Kipling Irish Cream Fancies.
The other thing about not buying a product for a while is that your mind plays tricks on you and you have a memory of what they should look like that simply isn’t true, these look so small compared to how I thought they would be. They do look pretty though, nice white coloured icing drizzled with chocolate lines, iced over a square of sponge topped with a dollop of fondant underneath.
I bit into one of the Irish Cream Fancies and they to be very mild in flavour. I liked the soft textures of the sponge, icing and filling, but the flavour was simply sweet and creamy as its base flavour. There was just a gentle hint of ‘Irish Cream’ taste, which you had to look for to really notice it. These are easy eating and pleasant, and it was nice to see the effort of a new flavour. They are mild but at least that means that they will go down well with visitors, so they do get a thumbs up. Worth having a box in the cupboard to share with any unexpected Christmas visitors.
