Ordered me a 1lb fruitcake from them.  When they're not dried out, they are the best.

Dark not that light colored.

@SharkE Hey, good for you!

I thought I was the only one who liked a good fruitcake.

Some I got from there were dry, so, I quit ordering. Then, other times I got fantastic ones. Just a touch of rum think it was, chocked full of fruits and nuts and dark cake batter

they were the best.

Husband never would touch I'd eat half and freeze the other half. He's not here , now, so, I can order it and not

worry about negativity.

Fruitcakes can be pricey even local. I had a code that I used that was good for almost 4 bucks off, they don't charge tax to Tx. so it came to 30.  Those ol' light colored ones you see everywhere are that much and a light fruitcake is just not 'right'. LOL

@SharkE  How do they compare to Beatrice? We got one from Beatrice last year and liked it. Never had Harry and David.

Can't say never had that brand. Claxton, is the brand around here, but, looks sickly to me. LOL

Used to try to imitate a dark cake I'd buy the container of fruitcake mix at walmart and add to Pillsbury cranberry bread mix and put in loaf pan. Not as dark, didn't taste as good either, but , it was OK.

going luxury this yr and get the real McCoy. LOL

The past two years I've gotten fruit cakes from Beatrice Bakery here at QVC.  I think they the best I've eaten other than the ones I used to bake myself.  I've sampled quite a few over the years.

One was individual slices in cellophane.  For some reason I put them aside after eating a few and found them a year later in a cupboard.  I tasted one with trepidation and it tasted like it had just been baked, fresh and moist, so I polished off the rest of the box.

I've got one on order to arrive in December to which I'm looking forward.

@SharkE   Most Texans swear by fruitcake from the Colin Street Bakery in Corsiciana.  I had them a couple years and they were just okay, not nearly as good as the Beatrice ones.

I love a good fruitcake, one without an abundance of black raisins, with a cup of coffee or tea.  Haven't had that in years.
