Chocolate Fondant Fancies....



So there you are on a Saturday afternoon, back from shopping, with a nice cup of tea and a brand new box of 6 Fondant Fancies. Off comes the cellophane, the box is opened, and there you are confronted by the contents. Which one do you go for first? The pretty pink one (strawberry flavour)? Or maybe the yummy yellow one (lemon flavour)? Or, do you go for the boring brown one (supposedly chocolate flavoured!)? Who really likes the chocolate Fondant Fancies? I personally don't know anyone who likes them....I certainly don't!

Now I know Fondant Fancies are not everyone's cup of tea ('scuse the pun), they are certainly not the most glamorous cakes in the world, and they've probably never seen a real strawberry or lemon....I must read the ingredients next time I buy some!...but I'm pretty sure they absolutely haven't got any real chocolate in them either! "Chocolate flavour icing" would be the giveaway there!

Why do they make them? Why does there always seem to be more chocolate ones in the pack than either of the other flavours? And more importantly who actually likes them?

Why can't we have a lovely delicate Vanilla one with white icing instead?

I think we should start a campaign to abolish chocolate Fondant Fancies!!
