Cadburys Creme eggs deal

DavecUK

48 Creme eggs for £16.80, seems cheap to me at 35p per egg and we all know how well coffee and Creme eggs go together. 🤣

Did they change the recipe for Cadbury Creme Eggs? I remember as a kid Creme Eggs were the best tastiest treat that gave me wonderful childhood memories.

Now when I have one these days it just tastes like processed sugar.

I am told times have moved on. Now even my children think they are too sweet, lol.

This. My son had one a few years ago and it sent him absolutely crazy for about 3 hours. Upon trying one myself, I found it absolutely inedible. I remembered them being so nice when I was younger.

They changed the chocolate recipe. I remember there were protests when it happened. It’s not the normal cadburys recipe but their cheaper alternative.

I believe you are quite correct…there was quite a lot of noise made about it. The funniest thing if you remember, Hersheys sued a British importer to halt imports of British Cadbury chocolate, which reportedly angered consumers.

I watched a Video of an Americans face when he ate a bar of Cadburys chocolate and Hersheys bar (which we should all know is shit)…Americans generally like our Chocolate which is why Hershey got imports banned.

Of course there are some Brits who don’t know better (one of the channels I’m subscribed to.

And trust me…it’s rare to see him fail, but I am not surprised he couldn’t eat it all.

DavecUK Hershey’s is inedible to me. And I’m an Aussie.

Their Hershey’s chocolate syrup they sell to put over ice-cream and in milkshakes is gross.

Many years ago someone brought back from their holiday in the states some Hershey’s Kisses, little individualy wrapped pyramid shaped chocies. They were disgusting and at the time, I said they tasted like baby sick.

Only last year, I was watching QI and they mentioned the sicky taste of American chocolate and Hersheys in particular and said it was because of some chemical they put in it. Apparantly, because the good ol US of A is so big and the milk to make Hersheys has to be transported a long way, it has to have this additive to stop it going off.

Now as I’ve grown older and a little more refined… ahem! I find Cadbury’s chocolate far too sickly sweet and not chocolaty enough. Even Aldi’s chocolate has about 33% cocao solids whereas I believe Cadbury is somewhere in the low 20’s.

I have some chocoalate that is 95% cocoa solids and even I find that too earthy for want of a better word to enjoy.

Coffee and chocolate is good, but red wine and chocoalte… Lovely!

Pompeyexile Cadburys chocolate has definitely gone downhill over the years..the problem began soon after the large USA Corporate took it over….just couldn’t leave well enough alone. Mind you, a common occurrence when a large Corporate takes things over…it’s not usually better for their customers.

The Spanish like chocolate, especially higher cocao content. I once saw a programme where they gave some Spanish people a taste of Cadbury and they to a man and woman said ‘this is not chocolate, it is just sugar and vanilla flavouring’.

If all you want is a quick sugar/vanilla rush, then Cadbury/Galaxy is fine, and don’t get me wrong, I occasionally like a double Decker. But, if you want decent chocolate flavour, then I think you need to look elswhere.

DavecUK

Pompeyexile One chocolate I absolutely can’t eat…Galaxy. Admittedly I am not a great Chocolate lover, but when I do eat it I want real quality stuff.

I m not a great chocolate eater but when I do I much prefer Lindt, dark or light hazelnut or 90% plain, definitely clears the palate .

Pompeyexile

Hotel Chocolate do some nice ones, there is one in the designer outlet near us… when I can afford them.

Pompeyexile Hotel Chocolate

The words of a wealthy man!

Can’t be doing with Hotel Chocolate, too expensive! Montezuma 100% for me. Their other percentages and flavours are excellent too.

DavecUK

Rob666 So Rob, instead of driving a rolls…your a Bentley Man? 🤣Or have I got that wrong and saying that is more like Oxfords not Brogues?

A top end Audi then.

Rob666

DavecUK I wish! Currently old Volvo and Hyundai. Trying to decide between an old Audi and an almost new Kia. As for the choccy, Montezuma is much more reasonable than Hotel Chocolate and IMHO a lot better. Slightly more expensive than Lindt and often on special offer.

The wife (and hence, me too) still have the occasional creme egg BUT …. the mini ones. They’re about the size of a decent-sized acorn. Two nibbles and …. gone. We don’t like the big ones, and don’t even get the small ones that often. Personally, I prefer dark chocolate to virtually any form of milk chocolate. Co-op does some very nice bars of decent, high-cocoa dark chocolate. So do F&M. ;)
