1. I should have guessed that they wouldn’t have enough flavor for you.  People either love or hate these sticky sugar globs.  I have ALWAYS loved them, and I become a child for the five minutes it takes me to eat one.  They are almost unnesessarily sweet, I admit, but they rock my world.  For two weeks before and after Easter I am riding the sugar high rollercoaster.  BTW, I have never liked the mini ones.  Not sure why, but I think it’s beacuse I miss all that filling.

2. As a child I LOVED these eggs.  But now I think I want one until I start eating it--then I remember that they just aren’t as good as they were in the early 90’s.

   I do like the caramel ones, though.

3. Boo! The Caramel Eggs are my favorite. I could do without the chalky taste of the Creme Eggs, though.

4. I’ve had Cadbury eggs with the yellow yolk before. It was fascinating. I can relate to them being a little to sweet but when I do take the plunge they’re not too bad.

5. I LOVE Cadbury cream eggs! I saw your post and realized I had one that I bought this morning, but accidentally threw it away with my breakfast trash. Now I’m sad.

6. Cybele, the fact that you linked to X-E kicks you up another couple ranks in my internet heart.

   As for Cabury Eggs, I love ‘em.  Won’t even try and deny it.  Funny thing is, although I don’t find them too sweet (really sweet, but not too sweet), yet I find some dry fruits, like pineapple and mango, too sweet.

7. I wish I liked Cadbury Creme Eggs but I always thought they were too sweet, too.  I did, however, LOVE those chocolate fondant filled ones that they made a few years ago.  Why did they do away with those?

8. I’ve been thinking about your blog a bunch today. They are shooting a Snickers commercial on the stage next door to me, with the Black Eyed Peas, Bootsy Collins and a crazy cast oddly dressed people. Somehow hospital beds and fake news crews are involved. Crazy! They have been shooting this epic commercial for about two weeks now! Just thought you’d like to know.

9. I love Creme Eggs. But I need to lose weight.

   I once worked out that if you could cool one to about -4000K, it would have no net calorific value, and you could eat as many as you liked. Sadly, it would require rewriting the laws of physics to achieve it.

10. I don’t know if they have it in the States but in Canada there is a mini creme egg and it is just the perfect size. (except when you eat a whole bag)

11. Mini ones aren’t as good.  I agree with you here mostly.  They are too sweet, but you’ve gotta have one.  I once tried to eat a caramel one while driving a stick-shift car...not good.

    FWIW, I bought one yesterday that was made in England.  I thought all of them here were made here.  Canada had a recall, so they make some, too.

12. I always get at least *one* cadbury creme egg every year when Easter rolls around (I did so yesterday, along with whopper eggs and Sixlets).  But I agree with another reader’s comment - it’s never as good as I remember.  I really think our tastebuds do mature.  It’s SO SWEET!  And the middle is never creamy.  I don’t know just how many types of filled eggs are now out there… but I do like the caramel ones.  I think I got a Snickers one a couple years back and liked those.  How about the cordial cherry ones?  I love love love cordial cherries, and in fact tried the limited edition cordial cherry Hershey Kisses recently.  A few years back, I got this mini carton of filled eggs - I don’t recall the brand, but I think they came in packs of four.  There might have been more than one flavor (like chocolate and vanilla), but I remember *loving* the chocolate one.  You would think it would be too much chocolate, choloate filling inside a chocolate shell, but it was really quite satisfying.  They were different flavors and textures, and the carton came with a little scoop with which to eat the filling, if so desired.  If I remember correctly, I bought those at Walgreens.  Another different candy I tried recently and liked, is Fox’s Echo - I had never heard of them.  I found or five pack (I think) at Job Lot for $1.  They’re sticks of chocolate cookie, topped with an aerated white chocolate, covered in milk chocolate.  The packaging is cool - dark blue matte wrapper with glossy circles (for the “bubble,” I guess), and each on inside is individually wrapped.  Yum.

13. PS - Okay, I meant to say “Echo Bubbly,” which would explain my bubble comment.  Hehe.

14. Oh yes,heavenly eggs laid by the gods themselves.
    ( the chicken gods you dumbcluck)Too sweet? bite your tounge. Caramel? buy a Milky Way; try the Dark. Chocolate filling? What’s the point? I love the yellow yolk, although I can’t taste the difference. Always buy in the four pack. Each bite, make it a big one, is another rung on the altered conscienceness ladder to oral evolution.
    P.S. thats copywrited by the way, so don’t use it!

15. The eggs with the little scoop were Milka Scoops.  Havn’t seen them in a while.

16. Man, I used to LOVE these as a kid, so I bought one thinking it would an eggasmic experience (sorry, bad pun hehe), but it was not half as good as I remembered. I guess our tastebuds mature because I found it to be much too sweet and just not all that exciting (the filling, while being very sweet, is at the same time sort of bland). I’ve never tried the chocolate or caramel versions, but now I’m not all that tempted. And as a sidenote, mine definitely had a yolk, but it was orange - and not a yellowy orange, an orange orange.

19. Mark - I’ve had the best luck at the drug stores like Longs, RiteAid and SavOn with slightly less variety at the grocery chains. If you’re in the UK, I’m not sure what the state of Cadbury and Rolos are, since they’re made by different manufacturing facilities than we have here in the United States. Good luck!

20. Joan - I’m not sure where your anger is coming from, nor do I know where you got the impression that I or any of my readers are fat.

    What I find especially odd is that your comment came from the same IP address as Mark Ford.

21. Have you seen the Cadbury Egg Cake?

22. I was in England in the fall of ‘06’and they have a candy bar that is a egg filled one. It was sold in the subway staion Cadbury vending machines. I can’t remember the exact name but I think it was called ‘egg filled’ or a cadbury egg bar. It was broken into little sections, 5 or 6, so you could have little bites of cadbury egg. Yumm

23. I can say with complete certainty that the 80’s Cadbury creme eggs did indeed have a dark yellow center, and they are always best fresh, which can be hard to find sometimes.. great blog, wish I’d found it sooner.

    Comment by Scott on 2/08/07 at 8:09 pm

     

24. Yep, I was born in 1977, I have loved Cadbury Eggs my whole life, and I was a child of the 80’s.  They had the yellow yolk for as long as I can remember when I was a kid, that was the best part, eating a real looking chocolate egg!

    I still have one every year, I don’t remember exactly when it was, but I bit into one and saw the orange yolk and about nearly fainted.  A piece of my childhood just wiped out, they ruined it!!  Why????

    They still taste great, but the yellow yolk I miss.

25. They are smaller this year! Only 1.2 oz. I knew they felt lighter!

26. Eating this candy on Easter was a tradition with me since I was a little kid (that and because in my town no one sold them until Easter). I skipped eating them for around 3 Easters because I was to busy with school to go out and look for any, but I bought some last Easter, and for some reason I found them to sweet for me. I can now only eat one, when years ago I could eat 3 to 4. Still though, it’s a really good candy.

27. I thought that Cadbury Eggs were the one Cadbury product that Hershey didn’t manufacture here in the good ol’ USA??!!
