Northumberland fudge

by michaelp

It was a sort of nutty, fudgy concoction covered in chocolate, which sold in chunks by weight from a jar. I used to get it from a newsagent on Newnham Road in Cambridge.

I have been trying to track down Northumberland Fudge for ages. I used to buy a quarter of it form the paper shop with my pocket money and my copy of Jackie magazine! If you manage to track it down let me know – although i did hear from a retro sweet shop that it was no longer made

i was also wondering what happened to northhumberland fudge we used to get a quarter of it every sunday for 50pence (old money) in a sweet shop in ireland. I really wanted to get some for my brother as a birthday present.

Why this isn’t produced or commercially available these days still remains a mystery to me, as it was always one of the better sweet jar options. I daresay it avoided critical radar for most people, which is a pity. It always seemed a bit of a rarity and I never saw an empty jar of the stuff, unless it was myself doing the emptying! The last time I managed to grab a bag was during the mid nineties in a village post office in the West Mids. Sadly, it was never restocked and being the only place I knew of that had it, that was the end of that…

I have been looking for Northumberlad fudge for years. I have found choc nibbles which are similar in a smaller version however nothing beats the real thing. If you find it let me know.

Me too! have been looking for 15 years! Used to get northumberland fudge from newsagent in Clanfield, Hampshire in early nineties.
Can we at least find out who produced this to try and get the recipe???!!!
