Cadbury Egg ‘n’ Spoon

The little egg carton packaging is so cute and such a good idea. Each box contains 4 individually wrapped eggs and two little spoons. You don’t really need a spoon to eat the eggs but it’s all part of the fun – as long as you’re only sharing them with one other person! (I can imagine that kids – big and small – would have serious arguments over who gets a spoon otherwise).
The chocolate shell is delicious although, disappointingly, a bit thin. The centre was filled with a white mousse. This was very sweet and light but I wasn’t crazy about it. I thought it had a sort of artificial taste to it, which became a little sickly if you ate more than one. There’s a brown mousse option as well which might be better.
A single box retails here at a slightly whopping €4.99. To be honest, I only bought them this time because they were half-price in Tesco. They’re cute and all but definitely not worth a fiver! It’s a fun little gimmick but it’s a shame that the chocolate wasn’t a little bit thicker. I think I’ll just stick to Mini Eggs and Malteasters…
I have so little sweet tooth, I can’t imagine eating one of these, but the concept is frakkin’ brilliant!
OMG, they look so cute!! Must taste amazing!
Mmmmm….. Sounds delish!
Sucks about the mousse not being great, the packaging and the whole idea is really nice though!
My English boyfriend is over the moon for anything Cadbury. Hope I can spot one of these in Holland!
They had these out a few years ago, instead of a white mousse inside they had a creamy milk chcolate, similar to that inside some lindt chocolates, but of course it was Cadbury. They were incredible, it is a shame they got rid of them and have now replaced them with a poor substitute.
I love those eggs. Seriously! I can’t wait every easter for the stores to get them!
That looks amazing… Gotta try
