Why cant they make a gigantic creme egg?

Re the creme egg Easter egg...

Its just a big boring hollow chocolate egg with a creme egg on the side. Why would I buy that instead of a box of 6 creme eggs?

And why cant they just make one massive creme egg?

Because they are too sickly to eat a massive one in one sitting. And how would you preserve it once open? It would get bits of crap in the fondant.

Ummm because they are DISGUSTING maybe?!

Exactly this. I'm a chocoholic but even I draw the line at this sickly cack!

That sounds vile.

But imagine if it was a caramel egg though….

If it was a Galaxy egg, now you’re talking!

Agree completely!

They could do a double shell and fill the hollow bit with the fondant. Like M&S did with salted caramel egg this year. I’d buy it!

I made one once. I wouldn't now as you can't get the old Cadbury's chocolate, the new one is horrid. The recipe for the fondant used corn syrup, which is hard to find here. It was fun but I wouldn't bother again.

My local chippy charges 25p to deep fry any bar of chocolate you bring in 😝

FYI, I had a deep fried creme egg from the chip shop the other day.

I’ve never loved Crème Eggs. Kill me now. On the other hand Galaxy enchanted eggs rose gold…. 😋

My brother and I wrote to jim'll fix it to ask for this in the 1980s. Shudder. I'm cool with the small ones 🫠

Have you seen the Dominoes whole crème egg inside a cookie?

I had a recipe pop up on Facebook for these, I screenshotted it and DD and I are going to give it a go on Saturday. I'll let you know how they turn out.

Obviously impossible because the weight of the fondant would require the chocolate to be ridiculously thick... however I propose a compromise. A half filled super sized creme egg, about half way between a regular creme egg and the smallest Easter egg size. You could open the top and make a hole and dunk out some fondant.

APatternGrammar · 19/03/2026 18:04

Only if you use the original recipe, not whatever they make them of now

It would weigh a ton! A crème egg the size of a boxed Easter egg.

Maybe a fist size one. For Easter. Yum !

Yes, you'd never be able to carry it walking home from the shops - you'd definitely have to have a vehicle with you.

You lived the dream. We need more of these positive, life affirming stories.

They’re awful now, really synthetic 😭

Lynchpinny · 19/03/2026 17:57

The sad thing is that if people stopped blowing each other up and hating on one another, this is the kind of thing that could be achieved. A group of people working together for the common good, to gift to humanity a massive fondant filled chocolate egg.

The challenge is clearly structural integrity. How can you keep the chocolate thin enough to eat but thick enough to contain the fondant?

If less money was spent on weapons and vapes this could be solved, I’m sure of it.

I used to love the Pimp That Snack website - a friend made the Tunnocks Teacake that's on it. Posting a direct link gives a 404 error, but if you google "creme de la creme egg" + snack, you should find it.

Tedster08 · 19/03/2026 17:46

Made one once for a friend’s birthday. It was the centrepiece at the buffet- we even made the foil wrapping using paint tin foil and paint pens.

Absolutely!

I was sitting there hunched over my keyboard just waiting to pounce on that one (as if).

I wish I could go to McDonald's and just get a mcflurry container filled with the creme egg mix, forget the ice cream. I doubt they'd do it though.

Aldi are doing creme egg spread in a jar
