    I used to be a die hard Creme Egg fan. Though this year the Caramel Eggs just seem tatsier.

    Has the Taste changed of Creme Eggs?

    Am I just growing old amd my palette changing? Has anyone else found this?

    It wouldn't surprise me if the taste has changed. The size has also changed.

    There's a series of videos on GooTube in which Creme Eggs meet horrible ends. Here's the best one, in slow motion:

    My favourite egg would have to be the galaxy ones.

    It would be great to see a creme egg from 10 years ago next to one from today. Damn global warming for shrinking our eggs!!

    The ones that you buy in boxes tend to be gooey-er than those sold singly for some odd reason. I don't think the taste has really changed though. But the fondant can be gritty almost in ones that arent as fresh

    Yeah the freshness is really important. The fondant goes reeeeeally hard if its an old egg that's been sitting in a shop for a couple of months. After easter when they're at rock bottom prices it still doesn't mean you should snap them up.
