H. E. 2008 to all! Don't eat too many eggs. :-)

I have made the ultimate Egg for Mrs B.



A normal easter egg + 15 cream eggs + a knife + a spoon + some time and effort = The largest Cream Egg known to man.

Actually no, and I'd never heard of that web-site.

I've made her the uber cream egg before.

We pimped a Big Mac from that site.

Step One: Ensure a clean and tidy workspace.

Step Three: Cut open and take a photo.

Did you know?

* In the UK, Cadbury Creme Egg is the most popular (unit sales) chocolate single sold between January and Easter, outselling its rival by more than 2 to 1.
* The Cadbury Creme Egg plant at Bournville can 'lay' 66,000 Creme Eggs every hour - more than 1.5 million eggs a day.
* Creme Egg is made all year round on the Bournville plant; even though we only sell the eggs to retailers between January and Easter.
* If you laid all the eggs made on the Creme Egg plant end to end, they would stretch all the way from the Bournville factory in Birmingham, UK to Sydney in Australia - that's 12,000 miles!
* In the UK, over 200 million Creme Eggs are sold annually, 3 for every person in the UK.

FAQs
How many calories are there in a Cadbury Creme Egg?
171. Well, 171.6 to be precise.



... apparently.

Hmm.. considering the loads of people who must not eat them at all, the fat * certainly make up for it!

Have you tried checking the sell by date?

I love creme eggs though I have to say those pictures of the monster one (on that website) look disgusting. They nearly made me gag. It's not right...

Aren't Rolos supposed to have a gooey centre? I once made ultimate chocolate brownie by just putting loads of chocolate bars in a roasting dish and cooking it for about half an hour then sticking it in the fridge! Soooo chocolatey.

I'd say "look on the box" but all the boxes I have right here have some weird code and no date

I actually quite like the creme eggs that are a bit old, where the fondant has gone solid - yep, I really like them like that.

That's just weird. You're weird! Creme eggs should be served at room temperature with a gooey centre. Sorry but that's just the way it is. Some things will never change.

Chocolate should always be at least slightly chilled. I know chocolate snobs will throw their hands up in disbelief at that, but it's true - chocolate is better when it's chilled. And I like the gooey centre too, but when it's gone a bit hard and solid it's also good.

But on the whole I won't argue with your personal assessment of me.

Chocolate is practically always better when it's been the freezer for a while, as far as I'm concerned. The only time that is not the case is when the non-chocolate parts (like toffee, etc) go too hard to chew for being in the freezer too long.

Oh don't try to convince me that you are going to argue with that?!
