And so it begins, the siren call of CDM Easter Egg on shelf on Tesco... last year I was unable to resist and I fear it will be the same battle this year. There is something about a thin shell of CDM that is so attractive. Sigh
 
Can sympathize. I am a Cadbury's DM girl myself, through and through. I now only eat 70+% chocolate but if I was to start on a bar of CDM or an egg, it would be my downfall and I am afraid I wouldn't manage to regain the reins. Some people say their tastes changed and such things are too sweet for them now, but I could very easily go back to guzzling CDM in a heartbeat. Thankfully, I am an all or nothing girl and as long as I stick to nothing, I am safe, but a square or two or a few fragments of egg would be me on the slope and heading down it faster than Franz Klammer.... if anyone remembers the good old days of Ski Sunday 🙄
 
I am also a CDM girl, especially like the Easter egg shells for some reason they taste so much better, I have also found that for some reason i can get away with eating a quite also without it causing a spike, not that i have risked having to much.
 
Don’t do Easter, apart from the BH time off. Don’t get why an egg is associated with the “event.” (Apart from some pagan spring rebirth thing?)
I get an egg for my wife, for the fun. But me? Haven’t since diagnosed. Which was decades ago.
 
I've no doubt I will be participating in the consumption of an egg - over a period of time that is. There is
nothing quite like a Cadbury's easter egg, except perhaps two...... 🙂

I love Easter eggs! I go for the basic Cadburys ones. I also used to like those Dairy Milk Egg n Spoon ones with the gooey chocolate mousse stuff inside, but they seemed to have disappeared this year 😱

I was looking for them in ASDA the other day, apparently they were discontinued last year.

Whhhhyyyyyyyyyy?! I keep seeing those gross Oreo ones but the chocolate ones were delicious. First they ruined their Creme Eggs, now they’ve ditched those :(
 
Cadbury's chocolate has been rubbish ever since they were taken over by Kraft (Mondelez). Easter eggs are such poor value and I've not touched one for years. My Easter treat if I can be bothered is a Lindt dark chocolate bunny, which usually lasts me to somewhen in June!

Yes there not the same I do still eat them though. Kraft did change the recipe even though they said they wouldn't.
 
Another CDM lover here, but with the exception of my mum who we buy a small Easter Egg for, we only buy them for the children, we do have an Easter Egg hunt, which is a family celebration with food involved, but only the children get sweets and eggs, I also have some no edible bits in the hunt to keep down the amount of sweet stuff.

I do agree Easter eggs are a lot of money for the amount of chocolate you get, but I think it is nice for the grandchildren to have them, again I don’t buy huge ones for them, and only a few Easter themed bits for their hunt, the rest is normally packaged stuff, this year will include some sweets that were left over from Halloween and Christmas.
