Should WDW theme parks sell alcohol flavored fudge?

[LAKid53]

Ha ha! I like her!lol

I make a side dish of extra topping with heavier rum than what is kid friendly..that topping dish is for adults only. Not like your breath on fire style, and not inducing tipsiness, just a little bit more rum for extra flavor.

My comment to her was, "Mom, did you soak this in 150 rum?" It was way too strong, almost inedible. But my dad liked it...

I said no because I don't like alcohol and chocolate mixed. In fact I don't like a lot with chocolate. I know there are other flavors of fudge but I just see chocolate being used the most.

Well, my caramel always taste like beer when I'm in Germany so I guess my fudge can taste like it too.

You may want to consider a third response of "I don't care" to your poll. I really don't care if they do or don't sell alcohol laced fudge. Alcohol is epidemic in our society. Disney jumped on the alcohol bandwagon a long time ago and their wagon is only picking up steam. (alcohol in the MK, possibly adding alcohol to the Dining Plan). If it makes enough of a profit Disney will sell it.

How about "I don't care because I am not a big fan of fudge". I have had fudge from all over the place. It seems like every gift shop, candy store, and souvineer stand makes "the worlds best fudge". I have never found any of it really thrilling.

I would have no problem with that option. I can honestly say I've never bought a box of fudge. I find most way to heavy and way too sweet. So no, I would not buy it with or without alcohol.

Who really gives a fudge?

 

[JIMINYCR]

Yes, yes, yes... now that you have the image in my brain I need to get to my

That looks more like brownies than fudge. Either way, yummmmmm!!!

There's this strange concoction I always see at the liquor store and it's a combination of chocolate and red wine. I don't know, that's sounds pretty gross. It looks like a big bottle of Yoo Hoo which is an abomination in its own right.

I doubt Disney will have alcohol fudge or any interesting flavors of fudge that are non-alcoholic. I used to love going to Disney candy shops like Candy Cauldron and Sweet Spells for their fudge. They had tons of delicious flavors, including seasonal flavors like lemon or blueberry fudge. Now they're down to about two or three flavors of fudge--chocolate, chocolate-peanut butter, maybe Rocky Road. I end up getting something else or nothing at all. Sometimes I have settled for a standard flavor of fudge, but found the taste to be disappointing. This past Saturday, I went to the Sweet Sailin' candy shop at Sea World and got watermelon and strawberry-pineapple fudge. Recently, I went to Universal and got the buy four, get two slabs of fudge free deal. Universal and Sea World are way ahead of Disney when it comes to fudge. I recently wrote an e-mail to WDW telling them so. They said they'd forward it to the appropriate department, blah blah blah. But it was worth a try!

Sounds like you really love fudge! I'm right there with you!

Well, my mother was a little heavy handed in the rum sauce she poured over her rum cake once....like you could light your breath on fire. She missed the part of the instructions that said to cook the sauce for 5 minutes....

Literally laughed out loud

We received one as a present once. Waste of chocolate and waste of red wine.

YooHoo - dairy beverage. It does not contain milk by the way - bleah.

I think it would depend on if the alcohol actually cooks off the fudge (I know there are many different ways of fudge preparation). It would be way to easy for a little one to accidently get the wrong piece of fudge, though Im sure it mostly just the flavor and not actual alchahol, you can never be to careful.

I had some chocolate ameretto (noclue how you spell that) fudge that was great, don't know if it actually had alchahol in it still, it was just good.

Amaretto.

They sell the alcohol filled chocolates in the packages in Germany. Those you have to be 21 to buy. Alcohol in fudge is not a big deal since they added in the cooking process.

 

[Phonedave]

Just for the record - alcohol does not just "burn off" in food. a good portion of it remains after the food is done cooking. However you have to look at how much is added in the first place. If I put one shot of bourbon in a batch of fudge that make 20 servings, then that is 1/20 of a drink in each piece, before any reduction from "burn off" even occurs.

We bought this fudge last night. DISGUSTING.
I wish it had enough alcohol to make me forget what I just ate.

Kid loves it. Root Beer flavor.. I almost gagged when tasted it. Yuck, yuck, yuck. Root Beer is gross anyway.. even worse in a "secret" fudge flavor.
