"creme egg bar" news and stories

 Although not available in the US, Cadbury has recently released a chocolate bar that is a play on the Cadbury Creme egg. it's called the Dairy Milk with Creme Egg Bar - or simply the Creme Egg Bar. My first visions were of a Snickers-shaped bar with a huge amount of fondant filling, but the bars are divided up into filled squares in the same manner as other Cadbury filled bars. All reports make them sound as though they have a similar chocolate: fondant ratio as the mini Cadbury Eggs. For me, this is a good thing, since I prefer to have more chocolate to balance the intensely sugary filling, though there are many people who even want their full-sized eggs to contain more fondant.

Taste aside, I can't help by wonder if Cadbury Cremes are meant to be egg-shaped. At least half the fun of eating a Creme Egg is that it is an egg. And besides, the fondant is supposed to look like the inside of an egg, so what's the point of having a spot of orange "yolk" in the center of a chocolate bar?
