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?

The amount of chocolate needed to deal with the weight of that much filling would be way more than a usual Easter egg. It would weigh a tonne and cost a fortune.

i wish they’d go back to putting the sweets in the middle of the Easter eggs

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

Maybe a fist size one. For Easter. Yum !

Easter egg sizes are spun in moulds, cream eggs sizes are one shot or shell moulded.
So a filling is much more likely to causes breakage, or spill through the join of two halves in a giant egg.
Its a pain!

A man, with glasses and a beard and wearing a cap and a purple top, is working on the large Cadbury Creme Egg. Another person, whose face is not visible, is painting an imitation Creme Egg wrapper.

Just the thought has made me feel a bit sicky.

You can make your own easily. The filling is literally just icing sugar and water.

It can’t be- different consistency and taste though?

I would just like them to put the original creme eggs back to their original size.

It could come with a super long chocolate spoon so you scoop out some creme and bite a piece off the spoon with every mouthful

I would definitely buy that!
