- Okay. We're trying handmade fudge today.
- Are your hands clean?
- No.
- Questions to be asked.
- That's where the flavour comes from.
- Mm, yummy
- (upbeat music)
- Fudge!
- Wait, we're trying fudge?
- Yeah - Oh, yes!
- We're doing fudge.
Fudge is just soft toffee, isn't it?
- It's kind of, it's a lot more meltier.
- Yeah. Americans love fudge.
They eat it by the pound.
- Have you made the fudge?
- [Producer] No, I have not made the fudge.
- Okay, so who's made the fudge?
Like, how do we know it's handmade?
- [Producer] Well, eh, it's...
- It says it on the label?
You're, you're very naive.
(upbeat music)
- That's like a brick. D'you hear the sound off of that?
- Oh, vanilla.
- Vanilla - Oh, Yes.
- Oh, this looks unbelievable.
- Crumbly!
- Vanilla flavoured. - Boom!
- It's like a nice candle.
- Even if you got one and just threw it at someone.
- Oh, you'd take right off their head.
- Absolutely, - Yeah.
- Handmade butter fudge.
- They're all my favourite words.
- Yeah, it smells diabetic.
- Hm.
- Oh, Oh my God.
- (laughs)
- Oh my God.
- Yeah, no matter what the texture of that is...
- Crumbly, melt in the mouth delight.
- Oh my god, it's such a big chunky bit of...
All right, let's go for it.
- Okay.
- Open your eyes and your mouth.
- Okay. - And your heart.
- Ahh!
- What?
- Oh my god. - Uh.
- Even biting this. - Uh.
- It's like eating fuckin' sand.
- Uh.
- It's really sweet.
Oh, my god.
- It's like eating a wet sugar cube.
- It literally just tastes like
someone's poured fudge over a bag of sugar.
- I'm not a fan of this whatsoever.
- That's rotten.
That texture is driving me insane,
just holding it, nevermind eating it.
- It's not unlike just chewing a candle.
- It's sugar.
It's disgusting.
- I genuinely think if you put this in water,
it will just dissolve. - Dissolve.
I actually think it could as well.
- It's like glucose in your mouth.
- That is no, I can't even quite, no.
- If I like squeeze it.
- Oh, (beep)
- Well, that was (beep) disappointing.
- Maybe you can do a little bit of the old.
Because look, that is literally just a...
Oh, that is messy.
Can't wait to rub this all over your shirt.
- This is why they're a house of fudge,
because they've built their dynasty on these secrets
that we don't have access to.
- Here's the difference.
You have a sweet tooth and I have like a sweet mouth.
Cause I did really like that.
- Imagine a mouth delight, load of shite.
- Fudge me more.
- Fudge you more?
- Hm.
- No, no, no. - I guess we will.
(upbeat music)
- Oh, it's a little house! - Oh!
- Connemara Cottage Traditional Irish coffee fudge.
Ah, yes.
- I hate coffee flavour
in things that aren't actually a cup of coffee.
- But look at the box.
- The box is...
Ah! It's grandad.
- I bet you this was not made in Connemara
- You bet that?
- I bet you that.
- It is quite cute.
- I love a good bit of branding.
A nice little tent.
- There's grandad there.
- Look at the turf of the side of the house.
That's Mary.
She's out feeding the hens.
- That's why people think that we're like
a little regressive nation
who were leprechauns with gold and rainbows.
Like we're not.
I've got an iPhone.
- Do we open this now?
- Twas a simple life in the fudge cottage.
- It smells coffee like.
- It does smell coffee like.
- You were right. - Boom.
- This for me, looks like what fudge should be like.
The other one just looked like a bunch of sugar
that was glued together like with syrup.
- You don't enjoy coffee flavour, do you?
- No, I like tea.
I'm a tea man.
- I don't like the taste of cold coffee.
In anything.
- Cause don't they say a finger of fudge?
Like this looks more like a thumbnail of fudge,
but, you know, same difference.
- Texture is certainly better than the first one.
- Yeah.
- It's like black coffee.
You like it?
- I just like black coffee.
- That is good.
- The texture is way better.
- I liked that one.
- Than that god awful thing you gave us to begin with.
- Not as crumbly as the previous.
- Very sticky.
- A small part of me is disappointed though.
- I've had stronger coffee flavoured things than that,
but it's just not pleasant.
- I don't like it.
Worst one yet.
- Worst one so far?
Out of the two so far, worst one.
- Would you buy that?
You wouldn't buy that.
- I would, cause my granny would love it
for her sewing things.
- For sewing things?
- Yeah, absolutely. - Which I doubt.
- But the texture still isn't a hundred percent right.
Like it shouldn't be fudgy the whole way through,
and in the middle it gets kind of grainy.
You know what I'm saying?
- Oh, there's granny again.
Sewing doubt and suspicion.
Got my little box of tricks.
(maniacal laugh)
- It's a strong nay
for the traditional Irish coffee fudge of Connemara.
(upbeat music)
- Oh, it's Rocky Road.
A scrummy yummy chocolate combination.
- Oh, this is going to be awful.
- What is a Rocky road?
- Rocky road's like an ice cream flavour.
- Scrummy yummy chocolate combination.
- Not enthusiastic about this.
- Don't smell it because you'll regret it instantly.
And there you go, smelling it.
- Raisins, marshmallows, syrup.
- Sweetened condensed milk.
So your regular milk... - pushed together.
- Pushed together, make sweet.
- Mmmm - Okay.
- Why are there raisins in it?
- Rocky road doesn't have raisins.
- It's like sticky ball.
Squishy.
- This is like a soft brownie
- But in the worst way possible?
- In the worst way possible.
- This is really good.
- Wuuuh.
- Okay, I'm sorry.
- There's raisins in it.
I can taste the raisins.
- Raisins don't belong in there.
- I'm not a fan of fudge.
I'm discovering that today.
- I'm not a fan of the raisins.
- No one's a fan of raisins.
- And there's no biscuit in this.
You got a bit with biscuit.
- Mm. - What is that, mate?
- Ooh, love it.
- You enjoyed it?
- Yep.
- Would you have another one?
- No.
- Very buttery.
You can taste the amount of butter in that, can't you?
- I can't eat that one.
I'm going to be really happy when I finally get one
that I'm going to be like,
Yeah, I'm going to eat a whole half of this, you know?
- It's like eating a block of butter.
- Oh, it's rotten. Rotten.
- It's nice enough.
I mean, you know when you're a kid
and you look at packaging material and you're like
oh, it looks tasty,
but then you try it and you have to go to the hospital?
This is actually what you imagined it would taste like.
(upbeat music)
- This is basic bitch fudge and I'm into it.
- Ginger!
- You hate ginger?
- I hate ginger.
- I fuckin' hate ginger.
- Ehh!
- Ginger...
- No, no.
- This is good.
It's getting colder at the moment
so this is good for our throats.
- Good news.
No bloody raisins.
- I don't like ginger biscuits or things like that.
They always have too much of a weird kind of...
- I don't mind ginger biscuits.
- Ginger flavour?
Like what is a ginger flavour?
- You don't like a ginger snap?
- Like a shot?
- No, like the biscuits?
- Clotted cream because that's exactly
what it's doing to your arteries.
Like my blood stream is just clotted cream now
after the fudge.
- Oh, you can smell the ginger off of this.
It's strong, really strong.
- It smells weird.
What you think?
- Let me smell yours.
- No!
- No, no, nope.
Absolutely not.
- Why are you so weird?
Why?
- Getting hints of ginger.
- Ehh... - Ewww...
- Blech.
- I still can't taste anything.
- God, what is wrong with you?
- I'm cleansing...
- Oh, no.
- The pallet. - Oh no.
- No. - No.
- I'm starting to taste it a bit now.
But, it's actually lovely.
- No, no, no. - Yeah.
- I took such a big bite and now it's in my mouth.
- Do you want some more?
- No! I do not want some more.
Who thinks that was a good idea?
- That is not nice.
That is like...it's literally pure ginger with sugar.
- Cause you see, the problem is,
the consistency of fudge is so nice,
that you so want to like it,
but then when it tastes like rotten,
it's just extra disappointing.
- I like it.
I like the taste of ginger.
It is very gingery, very sweet.
- You're entitled to like it.
- Hm.
- Not saying you can't.
You can do what you want in your own crazy life.
- It's like they got everything right,
and then they just dipped it in the wrong thing.
You're like, no, dip it in the chocolate.
Just dip it in the chocolate.
- I feel like if they had mass produced the fudge,
it actually probably would have been better.
I feel like a lot of their time is being spent
hand making this fudge.
- Was it your hands?
- [Producer] No, it was not my hands.
- Once it wasn't Colin's hand, I'm safe.
I'm happy.
- It was my hands.
- Oh, shit.
- Imagine it's someone ordering meat.
Can I get four pounds of fudge please?
In different flavours and types and bring it home,
feed it to your kids.
Watch them lose the will to live.
God, what a life.
- That was very graphic.
- Don't do fudge, kids.
