Cadbury Creme Egg Twisted
Have you ever looked at a Creme Egg and thought, “gee, I wish I could have this in a bar form, equalling much larger than this egg”? If so, you’re nuts.
I love Creme Eggs. They’re one of my favorite parts of the Easter season. I like biting off the top and licking out the goo before enjoying the sweet milk chocolate. That said, I tend to stick with one every other day or so for the brief season they’re available, because my heart starts racing just thinking of all that sugar. Twisted offers the Creme Egg taste year ’round in other countries, like England, that are also suffering major obesity-related health issues.
The bar is heavy, about four inches long, and molded into a twisted shape. The center has three layers – one yellow, one white, and one that seems to be pure, clear sugar syrup. I don’t think the syrup is intended, but rather the result of settling. The taste is like an egg – sweetsweetsweetsweet with some chocolate. The proportions are more like the mini eggs, with more chocolate to center than the big eggs.
Remember how I love eggs? I couldn’t finish this bar. Since the center is gooey, that means I had to toss out about a third of it because I was getting rather sick to the stomach. It’s way too much sweet for me. I feel like I’ve betrayed some part of myself in saying this, but.. it’s not that great. I feel like I got whacked with a sugar stick.
Score: 3 out of 10 – too much of a good thing is not a good thing.

I think perhaps in America consumers arent used to bars like this. I like Creme Eggs altho I don’t eat them often and I lke this bar too
Not sure about the obesity related issues particularly, its hardly Creme Eggs fault lol I think the US has a much bigger obesity problem.
