Easter is almost here. I dropped by a gas station here in Califronia and found a tray of Cadbury's Creme Eggs - Made in England. Shame that I just started my diet. It's good to see the little fella's over this side of the pond and in the stores. How dare American's keep telling us that British food is bland...but keep eating them.
Cadbury Creme Egg's are a bland...oops I meant brand of chocolate made to look like an egg. The egg has a milk chocolate shell with a white and yellow fondant filling designed to resemble the yolk and white of an egg. Creme Eggs are the best selling confectionery item between New Year's Day and Easter in the UK. We British buy £45 million pounds of them every year. No wonder the National Health Service is under pressure from overweight people. Although, there are rather scrummy.
The eggs are produced by Cadbury's in Birmingham, England and under license by The Hershey Company in the United States. The eggs are manufactured at the rate of 1.5 million per day, plus other Cadbury factories in countries such as New Zealand.
The Creme Egg has been a favorite since 1971.
In the States where bigger is king, the American's have decreased their eggs in size since their from the traditional 39 grams to 34 grams. Probably another marketing scheme of sorts.
Making the eggs
Cadbury Creme Egg is manufactured by making a chocolate shell in a half-egg shaped mould, which is then filled with white fondant and a dab of yellow fondant to simulate the yolk. Two mould halves are closed very quickly and cooled to allow the chocolate to set. When the moulds are opened, the eggs fall onto a conveyor which transports them, first to the foiling machines and then to the finished packing.
So if hiding money eggs in the garden this year, why not pop in some delicious Creme Eggs as a treat for the kids...or before the adults get their sticky hand on them!
I personally like to stick the whole egg in my mouth an eat it. How do you eat yours?
