Cadbury Creme Eggs - Yay or Nay?

[iPappy]

Eww, that looks like a raw egg inside the chocolate!

I’ve never eaten these, not into Easter chocolates of any sort. I used to love Cadbury’s Roses before they completely screwed the flavours and recipes up a few years ago. I stick to Aldi dark chocolate these days.

We have assorted Easter candy at the desk at work and none of it tastes as good as it did when I was a kid. Even Reeses cups, which were always a favorite, taste weird.

Makes sense - I used to love Easter eggs (which were just milk chocolate, nothing fancy except the foil wrap) when I was a kid, but the last time I tried one it tasted odd. All Cadbury,s, too, which was my chocolate of choice all these years until I started shopping at Aldi.

I've never had one.
As an aside, Cadburys have a second factory, opened in 1922, in my hometown of Hobart, Tasmania. We used to go for tours of the chocolate factory, with lots of free samples. They've stopped them now

It's not you. Hershey's changed their recipe in 2008 and started using cheaper ingredients. The taste reflects that. They can keep it.

 

[furmonster mom]

Nope
Dark chocolate only for me, and not Hershey’s.

Hersheys has an artificial flavor that they didn't used to have. It has always been a mass-produced chocolate that was sold at a reasonable price but it didn't used to have that artificial taste. I know in the U.S. there is some kind of partnership between Cadburys and Hershey. There are a couple of regional chocolate lines here, Esther Price and Anthony Thomas, that are better than Hershey or Cadbury and they are really only a little more expensive.

Hershey's chocolate developed a waxy taste. I stopped eating it for years but lately it seems to taste pretty good. But my taste buds are off so maybe that's why I like it again.

Not anymore, they're too sweet. The only chocolate I really like these days is hershey's special dark chocolate.

Not in this lifetime!

I went on that tour when I visited Hobart in 2007!

Sorry to say it, but it would have been nowhere near as good as the 1960 ones. They kept handing out samples of the chocolates of whatever area we were in, and then there was a box with chocolates, cocoa etc at the end.

I don’t remember much about the tour tbh, I think it was part of a package going to Port Arthur for the day.

I think that would have been too much to do in a day... they're nowhere near each other.

 

[catloverfromwayback]

I know we reached Port Arthur by boat - I must see if I have my diary, I can’t think what else it would have been. I certainly didn’t go to the factory for its own sake. Only other out of town bit I remember was a bus trip up Mt Wellington, and that was on my own, not a tour.

 

[mani]

No that would make sense.. the factory is on the Derwent River.

We went to a chocolate factory when we were in Port Arthur, but I just looked and it was Federation chocolate, not Cadbury, and it was really small. It was part of the shore excursion we chose on the cruise.
