Cadbury Oreo Creme Egg Review

When this new "Oreo Crème Egg" was announced last year everyone got just a wee bit excited. It's not surprising, since the original Crème Egg still reigns supreme as the Number 1 Easter Egg in the UK (although the Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs available at Tesco could rival it!). So add to that another popular food item and you've got a winner, right?

I was a bit sceptical about how this would work - surely the cookie pieces would get soggy inside the goo? Luckily it didn't take too long to find out - these were available in shops just before Christmas Day, along with a variety of other Easter treats. I swear it gets earlier every year...

You can find these in most supermarkets now, and they're particularly prominent in Sainsbury's Express stores. Opening the wrapper, the egg has the classic Crème Egg design, but with a rather prominent section in the middle. I guess these are produced differently to regular Cadbury Crème Eggs.

Cutting the top off with a knife revealed the Oreo cookie and crème filling below. And rather than being gooey like a crème egg, it turned out to be firm! Boo, what a disappointment. I suppose it shouldn't be a surprise really though, since gooey fondant would probably ruin the cookie pieces.

It's basically the Cadbury Dairy Milk with Oreo bar, but in egg form. Which means it's very tasty and moreish, and perhaps even more addictive in this form. It seems firmer in texture than the Oreo Egg N' Spoons that are also now available.

Overall, there's not a great deal to say about these, other than they're yet more tasty and moreish sugar bombs to ruin your January diet! I predict these will be very popular, although I do wish Cadbury would just bring out a White Chocolate Crème Egg - the competition to find one seems like such a tease!

    I am an Oreo fan, I love its taste on anything. Basically I love tasting Oreo biscuits. This Oreo crème egg sounds more delicious. I am sure my kid loves this too. Interesting review.

    Ah they're like the mini ones that you can get in the packets? Like you I had imagined they were going to be gooey, I think Cadbury are playing it a bit fast and loose comparing it to the creme egg. No matter, they still look tasty and I will be grabbing one ASAP.

    Tried one of these the other day. I found that there was too much of the creamy filling and not enough Oreo biscuit which made it a little too sweet for my liking

    If it's as sickly sweet as the standard creme eggs then i'll probably pass...

Pringles Salted Egg Review

Another weird snack and this time it’s Salted Egg Flavour Pringles! These are apparently popular in other parts of the word so maybe not as weird as they may seem to us Brits... and they’re actually not so bad! Not as eggy as I expected - I had visions of an awful gaseous pong coming from the tub, haha! - but just a slight salty egg flavour.   If you’re curious, find them from www.gbgifts.co.uk (gifted).

Asda Tinned Banana Blossom Review

Recently, I spotted a totally new vegetable/fruit (not sure which it actually is!) in Asda called Banana Blossom in a tin. It was next to the tins of Jackfruit which is a well known vegan meat alternative. I assumed it was a similar thing so happily bought some to try - it’s £1.50 a tin. The image on the wrapper looked innocent enough - battered fish pieces, only vegan! Surely this stuff must be good? Turns out that packaging was very misleading because nothing could prepare me for the horror that was lurking inside...when I opened the tin it was like opening something from a horror film, discovering the mouldy body of an ancient alien creature or other such evil. It looked hideous!! “Surely this is not meant for human consumption?!”, I thought. Heck it’s not even suitable for bird consumption....I think flies would even turn their nose up at this thing, which looked like rotten infested seaweed. When I posted this on my  Instagram  page the responses were predictably

Lidl Way To Go Fin Carre Ethical Chocolate

I recently spotted some new funky looking bars in Lidl, and instantly they reminded me of Tony’s Chocolonely bars, the ethical brand that launched last year donating money to helping end slavery in cocoa production. I’ve always loved the Tony’s brand and I think in 2020, more than ever, we need more ethically produced products - it should be expected, let’s be honest! So it’s always nice to see another brand like this even if it’s essentially copying Tony’s. I got the dark chocolate version to try as I was curious how it would be compared to other dark chocolates. In hindsight this was a mistake, as the actual chocolate is nothing extraordinary. It’s nice enough and good quality don’t get me wrong but it has no particular distinct flavour to make me buy it again. I’ll certainly try the other two flavours which are Milk Chocolate and Almond and Sea Salt, and I do like the chunky haphazard block design that mimics Tony’s Chocolonely. It’s a shame through that Lidl don’t just stock
