"cadbury eggs" news and stories

What is it about Cadbury Creme Eggs that inspires such devotion? Sure, the chocolate's good, and the vanilla creme inside has the weird-egg-yolk-novelty thing going for it, but is it really any better than say, a Snickers bar? If you're a fan, you're not alone -- the company makes over 300 million of them each year. Surprised? YumSugar's got a fun quiz that reveals even more creme egg trivia.

If you thought Cadbury Creme Eggs were good enough as they were, and the mini eggs were suitably adorable versions for a kiddie Easter basket, well, then you haven't seen all the hacks making ginormous eggs.

Pimp My Snack took an entire box of regular Cadbury Creme Eggs, cut them open, removed the "yolks," re-molded the chocolate into a giant egg, and created yet another giant Cadbury Creme Egg. Unfortunately, the bidding on eBay for this luscious giant gem has closed.

Cadbury Mini Eggs are one of the best things about Easter, right alongside Peeps and Whopper Robin Eggs. The single bad thing about them, in fact, is that the are only for sale around the springtime holiday, so you have to stock up during the days after Easter Sunday when all the seasonal candies are on sale.

Just like the majority of non-imported Cadbury products sold in the US, the mini eggs are made on license by Hershey's. While Hershey's does a respectable job of replicating the taste of the milky Cadbury chocolates in their bars, in no single candy is the taste better than these chocolates. The mini eggs are coated in a thin, crisp candy shell. Unlike most candy-coated chocolates, the shell is delicate and not shined to a high gloss. Instead, the spotted pastel eggs have a matte finish that gives them a more egg-like appearance and a more textured mouth feel. The shell melts away quickly - if you can resist chewing it unlike me - to reveal the ultra-creamy milk chocolate center of the egg.

There are lots of excellent chocolate eggs to choose from, but I dare say that there is no better solid chocolate one than these.
