Cadbury Creme Eggs

I suppose this kind of approaches the borderline between the ‘wicked satisfying’ things in this blog and other types of satisfaction, but we couldn’t let Easter go by without talking about the most satisfying Easter candy in existence - the epic legend known as the Cadbury Creme Egg. Cadbury Eggs go from a snack to more like a small meal. They’re the type of candy that, if you’re not very hungry before you eat it, you end up half way through it with the fondant cream leaking out of it and you want to put it down and finish it later, but it’s not really an option. If it tips on its side, the cream will slowly leak out, slowly enough for you to not even notice until a few hours later when the choclate is sitting in a sticky pool of sugary egg yolk.
Cadbury Eggs are wicked satisfying for a few different reasons:
- Their packaging. The blue, red and green foil sets them apart from all other Easter candy items, letting you know that, much like the real reason for Easter, a certain candy has also risen and appeared before you once a year.
- The unwrapping process. Peeling the foil off in one piece can definitely be satisfying, but it’s the shiny, decorated chocolate egg that’s revealed where the true satisfaction starts.
- The first bite. The first bite is the most important in a Cadbury Egg. This is where you will likely get a mouth full of mostly chocolate (Cadbury chocolate kicks Palmer’s ass to the curb any day), and you will peer into the small hole that you’ve made to see what consistency your egg’s cream has. If it’s fairly gooey, score! You’ve got a super-fresh, drippy Cadbury Egg to enjoy. If it’s starchy, teh sux0r! You’re going to have a mouth full of “this is too thick and I wish I could try another one to see if it’s better but it’s kind of too late now” feelings.
- Finding the ‘yolk’. If you get a little further down in the chocolate so you can lick some of the frosting, you will eventually make your way to the tinted orange center. Though this tastes no different from the rest of the cream in the egg, you’re even more satisfied once you find it.
- Washing your hands afterwards. Undoubtedly the most unsatisfying aspect of a Cadbury Egg is its potential for mess. It could melt in your fingers, you could leave the wrapper on and accidentally bite into foil, the foil could stick to an inner-egg leak as you’re opening it, you could try to preserve as much frosting as possible and eat too much chocolate off the side and have it dribble out onto you, etc. But never fear! Once your mouth is coated with chocolate and you take a nice big satisfying swig of milk or whatever you like to drink, you can rinse your hands off and relax, enjoying your simultaneous sugar high and “I feel a little too full” feeling.
One drawback: did you notice that Cadbury Eggs are smaller than they used to be? Yet they still cost the same? Cheap bastards! Want proof?
Happy Easter, everybody! Do you have a more satisfying Easter candy or experience you’d like to share? Comment below or send us an email!
