This technically should’ve been my third review ever. Unfortunately, I was more of a rookie in early 2018 and forgot to take a picture of the building AND the hot fudge sundae. Now, I only forgot to take a picture of the building. Thank you, Google.
I’ve had a certain feeling of dread over this review. Maybe it was the sense of failure of my photographic memory, of course referring to my terrible memory to take a photograph. It also could be the fact that the sundae wasn’t delicious enough for me to come running back; it didn’t leave me wanting more.
What I do remember was a “vanilla wall,” where it felt like all I was eating was vanilla custard before I got to the fudge pooled at the bottom. Luckily, I don’t have to rely completely on memory; I finally made my return, and changed my tactics.
If I remember correctly, which is sort of likely, I created my own sundae the last time I was at Freddy’s. Little did I know, Freddy’s had a few pre-made sundaes to choose from. The one that caught my eye (and that my friend was also ordering) was the Signature Turtle.
I don’t know who decided to classify things with caramel and pecans as “turtle.” Is it because it’s hard to eat? The flavor is hidden behind the hard pecans? It takes super long to make? I digress.
Quality of Toppings:
I feel like the pecans could’ve been chopped up a little more; they proved to be a little difficult to eat (maybe the pecans act as a defense for the sundae, hence the “turtle”). The caramel was evenly coated on the top, which was beneficial both for the aesthetic and the flavor. Cherry and whipped cream were on par.
Quality of Fudge:
It was true fudge. It was warm. But the “vanilla wall” from my memories was not fabricated. More fudge could’ve negated this tragedy.
Level of Comfort Ordering a Hot Fudge Sundae:
I ordered fries as a side, mostly because some of my friends were getting burgers and I felt silly only getting ice cream. But that’s self-imposed peer pressure, so no points taken from Freddy’s.
Would I Rather Get a McDonald’s Sundae?
Yes. Simply the fact that I have gotten a McDonald’s sundae at least 10 times since I last got Freddy’s sundae is enough proof of this.
Final Score: 5.7/10
Hot for Fudge
