Their barftastic sweetness isn't just for Easter anymore.
The Drum quotes a Cadbury Brand Manager:
“After a very successful trial in 2010, Cadbury Screme Egg is back, bringing with it some gruesome gooiness to the Halloween season. Consumers will enjoy its unexpectedly green yolk, giving them the opportunity to enjoy the classic taste of a Creme Egg out of the usual Easter season.”
You think this is Halloween candy, Cadbury? No, THIS is Halloween candy:
From Fast Co. (a couple of years back):
"in the confections of Stephen J. Shanabrook, sweet treats turn into gruesome mementos of contemporary life. The candies you see above were cast from the fatal wounds of anonymous cadavers. According to Eat Me Daily, Shanabrook says the truffles skate 'very close to the edge, the forbidden place for artists.'"
If you really want a "screme", imagine dropping one of those in a kid's Halloween bag.
Hey, some people LIKE Cadbury eggs. A lot. They're one of my favorites, actually, and I quite frankly am thrilled that in recent years it has become increasingly less difficult to find them during the off-season. (I haven't seen the Halloween ones, though, and the idea of the green yolk is odd. But if I see one, I'm buying it.)
