I know my answer because I just did it and feel slightly icky now.

How about you?

Could easily polish off a large bar of fruit and nut though

^^ this (and I did just that at the weekend, the one from Lidl is just divine)

I wish they hadn't changed the recipe, I used to absolutely love them but now they are just too sickly for me. I could have eaten two of the original 'proper' cream eggs.

MaryJean87 · 14/03/2023 15:43

I wouldn't eat more than one in one sitting but I reckon I could eat about 3 if I didnt restrict myself.

gloriawasright · 14/03/2023 15:43

They are only two bites for me .I could easily eat 6 in one go.
I would try not to though .

I am not a teeny tiny before anyone suggests it but honestly 1 would be enough they are so sickly.

😮😮 But surely you can feed your whole family for a WEEK on one cream egg and even that would make you stuffed! More than that would be greedy!

A few years ago when I had a much heartier appetite and sweeter tooth I probably could have eaten three. These days they don't taste as nice and are too sickly, one is enough! Now mini eggs on the other hand I could eat and eat and eat.

UnionRep · 14/03/2023 15:50

Three.

C'mon OP, time to fess up !

SallyWD · 14/03/2023 15:50

One. Not because I'm a dainty flower with a tiny appetite - I just don't like eat too much sugar in one go. I get a weird reaction and my face gets all hot and sweaty! I can eat huge amounts of savoury food.

ActDottie · 14/03/2023 15:51

I’ve definitely done a box of five before, although immediately regretted it. I think if I hadn’t eaten them back to back I’d have struggled.

Dippyeggz · 14/03/2023 15:51

None, they're too sickly sweet for me

IHopeYouStepOnALegPiece · 14/03/2023 15:52

No creme eggs because the middle is a weird texture

but the cadburys caramel eggs? Easily 4…probably 9

MrsMiddleMother · 14/03/2023 15:52

I could eat 3 in one sitting, 2 happily but I have no self control so couldn't leave the 3rd in the box and then I'd feel a little sickly

LaPerduta · 14/03/2023 15:53

One.

Mini Eggs, on the other hand...

AliceTheeCamel · 14/03/2023 15:54

I don't like them, but I reckon I could get through one if I had to.

Snap!

YouOKHun · 14/03/2023 15:55

I used to love them and could have polished off 3 or 4 in quick succession but when Kraft bought Cadbury’s (I think it was Kraft) they tinkered with the chocolate and lots of Cadburys products never tasted as good again. I tried a CE the other day, it was OK but the chocolate was kind of fatty and bland. Not tempted now which is probably a good thing.

AuntieMarys · 14/03/2023 16:01

I once ate 6. Bought a box and once I got past 3 realised I'd have to destroy the evidence.
That was 20 years ago and I've never eaten one since

catmothertes1 · 14/03/2023 16:02

If in the mood for them,as many as there would be in the box in front of me!

Proudofitbabe · 14/03/2023 16:03

I absolutely adore them but wouldn't enjoy more than 1 at once.

MrsMoastyToasty · 14/03/2023 16:04

Zero.

Mini eggs on the other hand. We live in a town that had a Cadburys factory. I had my sources supplier.

Largeflaskoftea · 14/03/2023 16:07

I could probably eat 6 and feel sick afterwards. Easily 2.

Choconut · 14/03/2023 16:09

Just had 2 caramel ones and it was just the right amount.

Iquitforevermore · 14/03/2023 16:10

What have they done to the orange part? It was non existent on the one I had recently. They don't taste the same anymore. Where are little rolo eggs? They used to be amazing! I'd say 1 when they were nice as find them quite sickly.

mackthepony · 14/03/2023 16:11

A lad at school used to eat them whole, straight in the gob.

evtheria · 14/03/2023 16:11

1, I don't like them very much BUT I could eat about 3 caramel ones before regretting it...

Runnerduck34 · 14/03/2023 16:12

Is this a challenge?? I think I could easily manage 3 ! And if spread out a bit easily a box of 5, they are scrummy.
