Dark Recipe | Old Fashioned Holiday Fruitcake Packed in Signature Claxton Gift Carton | A Traditional Holiday Favorite 5 Pack : Grocery & Gourmet Food Review: Dark version is good. Good ingredients. Lots of raisins. Good flavor, fairly moist. - I tried Claxton "dark recipe" as an "alternate" fruit cake for my previous go-to, favorite fruitcake of all time (see below). Claxton "dark" is good. There is a very good amount of quality ingredients. It has more raisins than I prefer, but I prefer raisins to dough. It has a good flavor and is pretty moist. I would definitely order again and the multi-loaf price was very good. I could tell from the pictures that it had more raisins than I am used to in my preferred brand. In the pictures, the lighter version looked like it might be more dry. I do not like cake-y, bread-y, dry fruitcake. I tried only the dark version because it looked similar in the pictures to what I like. I may be wrong about the light version as I only purchased the dark recipe. The pictures are a VERY accurate representation of what I received. I was a fan of Texas Manor Fruitcake loaves in this style for decades. They came in the same rectangular loaf that Claxton offers. This is my preferred style of "loaf". I always felt that 1 lb. loaves were more moist and less "bready" than the minis or the round ones from any bakers. I have tried some brands that are awful. Claxton impressed me. My experience with Texas Manor had declined from what I remembered over the previous decades. For a few years, it just seemed like it wasn't as good as it used to be. The last time I ordered Texas Manor, it arrived moldy. That said, the moldy deliver was during the pandemic. Everything, everywhere was messed up for a few years. I may try Texas Manor again as it still has a flavor I prefer. If I can't get Texas Manor, or if they continue to disappoint, I would definitely consider Claxton "dark" a CLOSE second place for my taste. I am very glad to have a another quality "loaf" style fruitcake that is moist and good tasting.
