Cadbury Cream Egg Cookies Unwrapping – YUM

Delicious Chocolatey Crisp cookies.. Watch as I unwrap these limited edition cookies. YUM

Each Limited Edition Cadbury Creme Egg Cookies is around 75 calories, which is very Oreo-like… So how did these Limited Edition Cadbury Creme Egg Cookies? I mean, to be blunt, they were everything I imagined them to be. Cadbury Creme Eggs are really just a ball of sweetness – they have a great chocolate outside, and the inside is sugary sugary sweet. It’s fondant, people. It’s water and sugar cooked down to a pliable goo. So, while I love Cadbury Creme Eggs, I know there’s really no subtle balance to the flavor – it’s not like the Reese’s Oreos which had the perfect creme flavor to cookie ratio. I figured these would be over the top sweet.

And I WAS RIGHT. The cookie part of this was light and flaky – the closest thing I can compare it to is the flakiness of a graham cracker, although clearly this was not a graham cookie. The cookie part of this reminded me a lot of the cookies in Thin Mints (without the mint) – that sort-of-graham-like dark colored cookie that is rigid enough to hold the cookie up but crunchy enough so that you never forget that it’s there.

Throw on top of the the gooey sugary fondant innards and cover the whole thing with chocolate and you had an AMAZINGLY sweet cookie that gives anyone looking for a crunchy Cadbury Egg a huge payoff. These were pretty damn good. If you can find them, you won’t be disappointed.
A Cadbury Creme Egg (/kriːmɛɡ/) is a chocolate product produced in the shape of an egg. The product consists of a thick chocolate shell, housing a white and orange fondant filling which mimics the albumen and yolk of a chicken egg. The Creme Eggs are the best selling confectionery item between New Year’s Day and Easter in the UK, with annual sales in excess of 200 million and a brand value of approximately £55 million.[2] However, in 2016 sales plummeted after the controversial decision to change the recipe from the original Dairy Milk chocolate to a cheaper substitute, with reports of a loss of more than £6m in sales.[3]

Creme Eggs are produced by Cadbury UK in the United Kingdom and by Cadbury Adams in Canada. They are sold by Mondelēz International in all markets except the US, where the Hershey Company has the local marketing rights. At the Bournville factory in Birmingham, in the UK, they are manufactured at a rate of 1.5 million per day. The Creme Egg was also previously manufactured in New Zealand but, since 2009, they are imported from the UK.

While filled eggs were first manufactured by the Cadbury Brothers in 1923, the Creme Egg in its current form was introduced in 1963.[4] Initially sold as Fry’s Creme Eggs (incorporating the Fry’s brand), they were renamed “Cadbury’s Creme Eggs” in 1971.[5] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadbury_Creme_Egg
