When my sister and I were growing up, my mother would go all out with the Easter baskets (which is slightly odd, given that she's Jewish). She'd fill brightly colored baskets with that plastic grass and then artfully arrange chocolate, jelly beans, toys and all matter of gummy candies. We'd wake up in the morning to a series of clues that would then lead to the magic baskets.
The crown jewel in the basket 'o delights was always a foil-wrapped Cadbury Creme Egg. I believed in stretching out the Creme Egg pleasure out across several days, nibbling away at the chocolate and scooping out bits of the melty "yolk." It's disgusting to think about now, but I sure loved it then.
Because of this early childhood conditioning, I have quite the soft spot for the Creme Egg, which is why I'm both totally intrigued and a little horrified to learn that in the UK, you can get a Cadbury Creme Egg McFlurry! Described by Julie Klausner as the standard McFlurry ice cream mix with "chips of Cadbury chocolate, and a generous heap of the "yolk" fondant section of a Cadbury Creme Egg."
How long until someone tries to make one of these things at home? Of course, if you do, we totally want to see pictures.

I have to admit that once we discovered them, we had one almost every evening of our trip. Tried to re-create them in the blender at home when we got back, but it just wasn't the same. I would probably gain 50 lbs in a month if they brought these over to the States.
