Love 'em or hate 'em, when they show up on the shelf at the drug store you know spring is right around the corner. I bought a couple last night and just ate one of them. I’m probably going to eat the other one as soon as I’m done typing this - they’re so damned good I can’t resist them. I like the original ones best, but I won’t turn down a caramel egg or an orange one, for that matter. Funny thing is, I’m not really all that into sweets. I rarely (if ever) buy/eat candy bars. But when those Cadbury creme eggs hit the shelves, I’m all over 'em.
My wife loves them also. I find them incredibly sickly, so I only have one per year as a tradition type thing. Is it me, or are Easter eggs incredibly cheap this year. They’re on the shelves for one pound.
I just have one a year, because I always forget how sickly sweet they are and it isn’t like you can just have half or something. But I have to have one.
Many years ago, I started dating this guy. Our first date was on Valentine’s Day so we’d only been dating a month or two when the Easter season hit. I expressed how much I loooooooved Cadbury eggs, so every time he came over to my house, or picked me up for a date, he’d bring me a 3-egg package. Every single time. Even after Easter had come and gone! I thought he was just the most thoughtful guy. He didn’t even like them - too sweet.
Several weeks later, and by this time we’d gotten to know each other a little better, (and he’s still bringing eggs) I went over to his house. I’d taken him some food or something, and just went into his kitchen and popped it in the refrigerator. And I saw it - the man had bought an entire case of Cadbury eggs - like 144 3-eggs packages. I knew right then, I had to marry this man!!
That is about the sweetest thing I’ve read in a while (pun not intended, but noted). Thanks for sharing that story.
I love Cadbury Creme eggs. I like to eat them a bit like a soft boiled egg. I take off the top of the chocolate shell, eat it, use a spoon to eat the insides, and then eat the rest of the shell. I don’t actually eat the shells of soft boiled eggs, but the breaking the top off and scooping out the insides to eat mimic my Cadbury habits.
