Cadbury Creme Egg Twisted, reviewed

Cadbury Creme Eggs are a staple of the Easter season. Even if the sugary fondant center is a bit too much to handle all at once, the creamy milk chocolate and the gooey filling is a delicious combination. I like the mini Cadbury Creme Eggs because they have a little bit better ratio of chocolate to filling for my tastes, but I recently got to try a Cadbury Creme Egg Twisted, which was even better.
The Creme Egg Twisted bar is a UK release from Cadbury. It’s a hollow log of their classic milk chocolate that is filled up with a yellow and white creme egg center. The bar is maybe 1/2 in diameter and about as long as a Twix bar is, with thick ridges (“twists”) running all along the bar. I would say that the ratio of chocolate to filling is perfect, just about 1-to-1. The creamy, milky taste of the chocolate, even though it is on the sweeter side, is a great contrast to the sugary filling and balances it out without dominating it. It’s nice that you can break the bar into a few sections as you eat, so that you don’t really have to consume the whole thing in one shot, unlike a creme egg.
This bar is not just an Easter item in the UK, but is available year-round. Even though this bar is probably not going to be widely available – if at all – in the US this Easter season, I can’t resist mentioning it just because of the tradition of creme eggs around the holiday. So if you’re a fan of those eggs, keep an eye out at import stores or if a friend is taking a trip overseas!

these look yummy. at last something I find even here in Malta
Oh yum! My roommate in college always bought the “first creme egg of the season” whenever they hit the stores each year. I’d never had one until then. I thought they looked scary, but they are so good!
oh i want one!!!!
Man, Cadbury makes so many good products that aren’t available in the States…what a bummer. That does look good!
what?!? duuuuude….i LOVE cadbury creme eggs!! i look forward to easter every year so i can get my fix. i finally was able to get my hands on the minis this weekend for the first time…thank you very much hubby.
but this….oh my, i MUST have. when we went to london a few years ago i became obsessed with the crunch bar. i did find a store here in the city that sells them. that would be awesome if they start selling these. man, UK has the BEST chocolate bars!!
oh how I love those over-sugary creations
Mmm, yes, the Creme Egg is indeed a thing of goodness. I’ve got a really sweet tooth, so I prefer the original to the Twisted. But, fellow Creme Egg fans, there’s a Greek delicacy you must get hold of. It’s called “Vanilla Sweet”, and is basically creme egg filling in a jar. It’s traditionally served by the spoonful in a glass of water (it doesn’t dissolve, you eat it off the spoon and drink the water when the sugar gets too much). Mmm-mmm!
By the gods I love Cadbury Cream Eggs, but my teeth cry out in agony with every bite, they’re so sweet! >_
We always challenge people to eat the entire egg in one go. Oh how priceless the faces get with a mouth full of that much sugar!
Oh those Twisters look ‘to die for!’ I love the originals, but those look even yummier. I gotta find some. I’m on a mission. LOL
I’m living in Scotland, and tried these the day they came out. I LOVE THEM! But sometimes, I just crave the original creme egg. Good thing I can get them anytime I want here in the UK. No holiday required!
These are DELICIOUS! I get them for Easter every year. The kids love them!
Tasty, I want some.
hmm, nyummmy..I just love these all stuff
It will be more delecious when it eat with a cup of coffee.
Hmm, Yummy
Delicious – this creamy sweets drive me crazy, can’t get enough. I prefer a cup of hot chocolate instead of coffe, to go with.
The creamy milk chocolate and the gooey filling is a delicious combination. Great combination indeed. Just cannot stop thinking about having a bite. There is one problem though. Cadbury does not release these sweets in India though. I love to see this sweet in India. I think Cadbury will make money with it.
wow…. yummy
I searched on google and I had a hard time located the right info….until I found your blog.
Tried that and must say:”Can’t get enough”
I don’t seem to know this snack, does anyone know if it’s available in Europe?
these are by far the best treats from Cadbury.
Looks yummmeeee.. Sadly not available here yet..
I can bet they are delicious.. good work cadbury, wish they were available here..
By the gods I love Cadbury Cream Eggs, but my teeth cry out in agony with every bite, they’re so sweet!

great ideas. I always follow your ideas and apply them.
Just one question though. Have you made writing this blog as your profession or do you do this in your spare time?
Just curious..

I know these things are very popular, but I have never liked them! I think it is the texture of the center that really gets me
It looks delicious. Give me one.
Are there any online grant applications that I would use for free?
Hm.. Another great recipe.
Thanks For share
Cooking is one of my hobbies. What do you talk about makes me want to get a taste
Thats looks so tasty uhhhmmm
“Man, Cadbury makes so many good products that aren’t available in the States…what a bummer. That does look good!” — I agree! There are lots of other goodies that are similar but I don’t think they could possibly be as good as these would be. Come on, share with us…
Ok I guess I’m the odd ball out here. While I do love my chocolate from time to time, that chocolate egg is just a little too realistic looking. It looks like an actual egg falling out of the chocolate, which isn’t too appealing.
delicious!
if u know what i mean!
i love to eat this tasty piece of sugar.. you gotta love it!
Yummy. I always prefer to taste the creme egg. I could sense it is a mouth watering chocolate from Cadburys. I am eagerly waiting for it to be released in my place. A person who commented here is skeptical about the chocolate and creme egg is nor realistic. I think otherwise. I really believe it is a great combination and it is tasty too.

I love these, prefer the orginal creme eggs though.
Looks delicious. Now im hungry
Agree with you . Nice looks
Do you think they are smaller now than they were 15 years ago? It’s a big debate! They used to be 10 times the size – or at least they seemed to be!
Wow… May I have one?
Yummy yummy…
