Cadbury's Creme Eggs - How Do You Eat Yours?

If given the chance, I will refrigerate Creme Eggs before eating. I like them cold cause they're less goopy and messy and take longer to eat so I can enjoy them more.

RS thought this was one of my weird habits but turns out other friends of ours do this too. I also know someone who eats them with a spoon.

So, how do you eat yours?

bite off the top, lick out the middle, eat the rest. Don't refrigerate them.

Although that is an idea.

p.s. - I realize that a lot of people think they're gross (I once did) but please try to keep the hate out. This is a creme egg appreciation thread!

two bites, gone

i do the freezing thing too! i also will let them get warm and then chop them up and mix them w/vanilla ice cream

i haven't had one of these in like five yrs tho :/

I used to refrigerate whole cartons of creme eggs for use year round. At the pharmacy near my high school, the day after Easter we'd routinely pick up a few boxes for just a couple bucks apiece. If you have the room in the fridge, I can't recommend it enough.

u might turn into fattey though.

adding them to ice cream sounds like an A+ idea!

I just shove them into my mouth in one go.

McDonalds in England has Creme Egg McFlurry's which are pretty damn good.

Ian - I could eat these suckers every day but only allow myself one a week in the spring (ok two if I'm feeling particularly gluttonous) otherwise I'd be in trouble.

sausage unpretentious eating style otm

dozens at a time

To those who haven't had them refrigerated - try it!! It's a whole other creme egg experience.

My mother-in-law sent me a couple of these a few months ago and they were pretty great too: http://www.cremeeggtwisted.com/

there's two places in NYC that do DEEP-FRIED cadbury eggs around easter time and it is pretty phenomenal.

I tried my hardest to make that not sound like OMG BACON OMONOMONOM, but it's difficult considering the subject matter.

anyway, the best part about it is the texture, when the creme part gets all melty inside the dough shell.

it's pretty much one of my favorite things on earth

i prefer them room temp, i like the extra goopiness of the creme filling

x-post Wow. I don't know if I could handle a deep-fried one but I'd try it just to say I had. I think they did that at that Chip Shop place in Park Slope if I remember correctly.

McDonald's in Scotland too...

deep fried creme egg sounds next level.

in past years, i have actually bought entire boxes of them (contains ~40) right after easter and eaten them all within a few days

^^^ i also like the caramel-filled ones--i will usually buy 2 creme and 2 caramel at the same time and alternate.

if i bought entire boxes of them i think i would die of sugar shock because i would surely eat them all immediately

WW - I don't know whether to laugh or cringe at your new screen name. I forgot about BBs so was sort of confused at first.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I could demolish a box over the course of a couple days or ok maybe a week.

What do you think about the orange ones?

oh ya, the caramel ones are pimp, i think the chocolate filled ones are p. alright too

xxxp, yeah at Chip Shop in Park Slope and Salt And Battery in the East Village. Pretty much as good as food gets.

I think I've got the first ENBB parody display name.

i didn't know there were orange ones! like, filled with orange-flavored goop? i don't know about that...

xpost

What do you think about the orange ones?

marketing failure imo altho the caramel ones sound a+

this is my favorite seasonal candy and i genuinely go a little five years old when it starts appearing in stores.

Me too horseshoe, me too.

Yeah orange goop. I like chocolate orange stuff usually but it just doesn't taste right in this case.

Wait - canks - there are chocolate filled ones?!

I'm totally buying one on my lunch break now, btw.

hell yeah there are! i usually mix n match w/the other kinds, as horseshoe delineated above

CCE are why halloween doesnt have shit on easter

^^^ was just thinking i need to break my lenten fast and buy all the new flavors of creme egg i've been missing out on. even the truly awful sounding orange one

the orange one sounds p intriguing, it sorta makes sense in my head anyway

I've never seen the chocolate filled ones! I guess I have a new mission to fulfill this weekend now. Must find chocolate CCE.

one of my fav things about them is the orange 'yolk' in the center of the creme - they don't have to throw that in there, it's just a lil somethin extra to drive home the experience

oh and i just bite my way through it, trying to keep a steady ratio of chocolate outside to filling.

guys i never want to leave this thread

cadbury should employ us

sometimes i will try to split them down the middle, along the seam, but then i just resandwich it and eat normally

it's all y'alls fault if i'm found dead in a week, one hundred empty foil wrappers surrounding me in my bed.

my mind is blown

lol

Orange eggs for reference:

Whether or not they're refrigerated I short of bite them in half length wise then lick out the creme then house the chocolate.

okay ENBB or anyone on the east cost i am going to buy all the CCE in t-minus 90 minutes research into which tells me there is also a mint version????

sometimes i will try to split them down the middle, along the seam, but then i just resandwich it and eat normally

That's what I meant by biting them in 1/2 lengthwise - I do it down the seam.

Didnt America cast off the shackles of experimental deep-frying along with dead weight 'u's and parliament? Sounds grim but I'd give it a go.

x-post MINT?!!!

Who knew?

We might have to start some kind of CCE exchange here.

yeah i just read about the mint vers on wikipedia.... intriguing~

Has anyone here actually seen these mythical mint eggs?

Ignore the Clarkson commentary they've attached to it, just enjoy the creme egg car actually moving...

the ones you get here in the US taste pretty disappointing - iirc they were/are made under license by hershey's. but then, NZ cadbury's has totally changed its recipe (cost cutting) the last couple of years and their chocolate tastes like shit now too.

ritter sport should make a creme egg

I think the ones we get here taste fine tbh.

Would like to do a side by side US/UK CCE taste test. Then maybe a difference would become obvious.

another event for the worldFAP agenda

yeah i don't like UK cadbury's either - NZ's was always the best but now it's shit

I think the Rolo egg might have supplanted the plain Cadbury one for me.

McDonalds in England has Creme Egg McFlurry's which are pretty damn good.

Canada, too!

I saw and bought a chocolate creme egg for the first time tonight! It was good but somewhat disappointing because, well, no creme. Why the hell does 7-11 have Creme eggs in January anyway? Strange.

Kraft changing the recipe of UK eggs....They've been fucking with the Cadburys brand since they bought it.

from now on they'll be filled with mac and cheese

I heard they'd be filled with live mice. Surprise!

I fucking hate creme eggs.

im about to eat the first of the season

What the heck is "dairy milk"? I've always completely ignored this as a weird Britishism but the article implies it's NOT the same thing as "milk chocolate"?

Or, per the article, "diary milk." I know typing is hard, guys.

Cadbury's Dairy Milk. it's a type of chocolate.

https://www.cadbury.co.uk/products/dairy-milk-2360?p=2360

IO - it is milk chocolate. It's what cadbury's call their plain milk chocolate. Like if Hershey's had a name for their plain bars instead of just Hershey's bars. Does that make sense?

So it's Cadbury's specific milk choc recipe. I guess what the article is saying is that they've tinkered with it so that it's not exactly like the standard DM one they've used in the past.

ALSO YAY IT IS ALMOST TIME.

I won't have one until at least March though. It's just too early.

been in the shops here since BEFORE christmas.

(which makes you wonder why it's only blowing up now. i've had one (or two) and didn't notice.)

(3 for a pound in tescos btw)

I'll withhold judgement till I've eaten one - whole foofaraw sounds like a "we're discontinuing salad cream"-style PR fib tbh - but I must admit I'm anxious. This better not be some New Coke bullshit. The Creme Egg is perfection, and shouldn't be monkeyed with.

I was hoping the only change Kraft's ownership of Cadbury would herald was the insertion of Oreos into their every brand.

I'm sure Kraft is trying to cut costs by using worse chocolate or something.

I brought one back specially from the UK two days ago and this thread caused me to eat it ahead of schedule. It's all true. The chocolate is flat and powdery tasting. That will be my last Creme Egg. I sucked out all the goo though, obv.

at least we still have mini eggs

FOR NOW

If these now taste like american "cadbury" Creme Eggs they can shove them up their arse

^^^^ this guy might be a plant from a rival egg company tbh

does the phrase "something to play with, and some chocolate" sound familiar to you, Mr Kinder?

Creme eggs are nast, but I will eat a whole bag of mini eggs in one sitting every time.

iirc americans aren't allowed kinders due to risk of arse-shoving

they get 'candy treasure'

kinder eggs>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>creme eggs

Wrong.

Lab should pledge a renatiolisation of Cadbury should they get in - vote winner.

i am a long-time lover of creme eggs but last year i found myself joylessly and mechanistically shoveling them into my face. this year i'd gotten more pleasure from my first few, then i found out about the change of recipe. in conclusion, i do not fear progress.

i swear to god if somebody has fucked up creme eggs i have a very specific set of skills and i will find you and i will kill you

The plot for Taken 5.

wtf is that and why are there peppers involved?

not ok

is that a creme egg pizza crust? holy god

... and onion.

That's plain wrong.

NONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONO

LOUIS IS THIS YOUR DOING?

lol

Cadbury Creme Eggs are the king of "candy I used to mythologize but eventually the incredible novelty wore off and I realized I don't even like them anymore at all."

relax guys it's a hilarious 'hoax' by pizza hut uk

tbh the addition of creme eggs to pizza hut pizzas might be an improvement
