I have run out of these......

http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj242/beachwarmer/twisted.jpg

They are called Cadbury Creme Egg Twisted

I brought back 10 ;) (really more like 25) from my trip to England in June....and I ate the last one last night.......without knowing it.:scared1: :scared1:

They are the Easter Creme eggs but in a chocolate bar and available all year round. God bless the English for contributing this to our world.

Does anyone have a home reciepe for these???Let me bring this back to Disney(not that it is really necessary on this board) Can I get these in Epcot?

Please no hurricane come to Canada.....I have no hunkering chocolate left.

Those do look good. I have never seen those before, but I do Know that the Brittish specialty stores in my area do carry alot of cadbury goods. You might find them there or perhaps even a Deningers store if you have those where you live , (I live in Burlington/Waterdown area). I will keep my eye out for those and let you know if I see them. But if my Wife happens to see them before I do , you'r out of luck :rotfl2: .

Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

My DH is from Ireland-so I totally understand chocolate emergencies(as well as crisp, bisto, and frey bentos emergencies-but that's another story-lol). I did not see them back in Sept.( and I would have noticed-my DH LOVES cream eggs), but they might have added them-not sure. I am going on the 20th so if you would like, I could look for you. But for those "can not wait!!!!" emergencies I use 2 websites.

www.foodireland.com

www.britishfoods.com

Both have great selections, but I prefer the first more(maybe it's just a personal bias;) ) They have a whole section on cadbury chocolate-which has become my absolute favorite :love:

Hope this helps you satisfy your fix!

Hi Beachwamer

I live in the UK and I may be able to get some of the twisted bars i can see if they are still available, and send them to you. We prefer American chocolate ourselves,Baby Ruths and pay days to name a few.

I stayed in London in The City for three weeks in a hotel with the only close restaurant a Weatherspoons Pub.....Creme Egg Twist was a decadent dessert.

P. S. Mountain Dew in Canada does not have caffine in it...the stuff in the US does....the US stuff is much better...

A thread I can relate to. It has been eons since I had the pleasure of visiting London but I recall chocolate being better and different. I'm a fan of dark chocolate. Will happily trade for chocolate

hand over the chocolate and no one gets hurt pirate:

There was too much Twist and not enough Creme Egg in it for me, i'll be sticking to regular Creme Eggs i think :cool1:
Oh and it's not the caffeine in the Mountain Dew i like, but it's (surely) radioactivity :lmao:

Weatherspoon pubs are a big chain all over the UK, the food isn't great, just a bit dull and bland really. Usually overpriced too!

I feel guilty asking people for fruit loops, cause postage is so expensive! My parents are going to Disney in October, and have sworn faithfully to buy me some then.

I found them at a little British confectionary shop here in Waterdown Ontario. The name of the shop is "Leylands" and they charge $1.59 each. My Wife also thought they were very good.

So beachwarmer just let me know if you want me to send you some. I think you live fairly close , so its no trouble really. Just P.M. me

Thank you, Thank You, Thank You.:cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2:

I see a road trip......only 5 hours to the candy store......we are heading down to Windsor in October for Cnd Thanksgiving and I will make a side trip to your fine town.

A trip to the inlaws usually involved a stop a the Niagara Wineries or the Pelee Island one. It was the only way I could make it through. ;)

Now I can have wine and chocolate.........This weekend is looking better and better.:woohoo: :woohoo:

I see this as the best trip E-V-E-R to my in-laws.

These are pretty good. Not up to Creame Egg Twisted taste though.

It is a whole bunch of chocolate curls, that you would decorate a cake with, but rolled all together into a tube. This use to be one of my favourites when we lived in Bermuda. The best way I have seen the Flake served is in Ireland, you get a large soft serve ice cream cone on the beach and there is one Flake bar stuck into the top of the cone.

I had heard a story that these were created when the manager of the Cadbury factory tried to figure out a way to use the left over chocolate from around the molds of the other bars.

You can get these in Epcot.

Not just Ireland, but all over the uk - they call it a '99 Flake' and you can even get it in supermarkets for home freezing, and i believe McDonalds also do it with their ice cream
