The King of seasonal treats

I LOVE Cadbury Creme Eggs. Of all of the seasonal candies and treats that come out throughout the year, the creme egg is easily my favorite. And all of those silly variations? The snickers egg, the orange creme egg, etc? They are just pathetic gimmicks and in no way to they even come close to achieving the perfection of the Cadbury Creme Egg. It stands alone in it's supreme-ness. Even the mini creme eggs don't cut it - they get the ratio of creme to chocolate all wrong.



What I find pathetic is that over the years, Hershey has sneakily trimmed the egg down all the while charging the same for it - in essence Hershey is simply trying to pull the wool over our eyes and I despise them for that trickery. I'm not that dumb. I'm fully aware that the egg has gone from 1.4 ounces to 1.2 ounces in recent years and I'm not happy about it, Hershey!

Anyway, on to more interesting things. I recently found this website with a recipe for baking muffins with a creme egg inside. Is that pure genius or what? I guess it's the only way to properly use those sub-par mini creme eggs anyway.

(They definitely aren't the prettiest muffins in the world but I'm confident that what they lack in physical beauty they more than make up for in deliciousness - even though I've never actually tried them.)

Hmmm, I don't know about all this. I always thought the eggs were gross. It's like a big ball with exploding poss... just food for thought. Don't slap me!

I can not get behind you on this issue.

My loyalty lies with the little Cadbury milk chocolate eggs with the pastel candy coating. Those are my pick for best seasonal treat.

I feel like the inside of your choice is just filled with creamy snot.

As someone who, less than two weeks ago, admitted that they have never tried the Cadbury Orange Creme Egg, I don't wanna hear you knockin' it 'til you've tried it. I detest Cadbury Creme Eggs - yuck, too sweet, and that's saying something since anything remotely sweet is always fine by me, but the Orange Eggs are AWESOME!
