How Many Calories in a Cadbury Cream Egg? Really?
Pin It
It's about that time of year again: Spring has sprung, the time has changed, Easter is just around the corner, and there appear those awesome little confections named Cadbury Cream Eggs! Almost everyone has a favorite type of chocolate that they just can't pass up, and my chocolate kryptonite happens to be the Cadbury Creme Egg (or cream however you want to spell it). And it has to be the cream egg, not the caramel, and not the dark chocolate Cadbury egg. Only the original Cadbury Cream Egg will work for me. It has to have that white and yellow fondant center, and it has to be from Cadbury. I don't appreciate the knock-offs, and honestly, Cadbury does a better job at wholesale chocolate than pretty much everyone else. These little eggs are so good, I could probably eat them year round, so I'm pretty grateful they only appear once a year, or I would be in trouble!
But how many calories are in a Cadbury cream egg? Well, I wouldn't be a lover of this particular chocolate if I didn't have some available so I could share! 1 Cadbury Creme Egg equals 150 calories. Compare that to a regular Snickers bar which has around 280 calories, and I think we might be able to eat 2 of these little eggs and still feel like we didn't do something terribly bad. 50 calories of that are fat, with a total fat content of 5 grams per serving and....well this is just making me sad, so I'll stop. So, it's probably not a good health conscious item, but like I said, only once a year!
In researching the calories of the Cadbury Creme Egg, I noticed there are also recipes online where you can make your own Cadbury-like eggs from scratch. I am not a cook myself, but I may attempt to talk a certain someone into making them after we are well past the Easter season! There are several recipes for the Cadbury Cream Egg online, but here are a few that look promising!
- InternationalRecipes.net - this recipe appears to have been copied from TopSecretRecipes.com, but you have to pay for that site. So someone was nice enough to copy it down (wasn't me, TopSecret, so don't sue me!).
- RecipeZaar.com - looks almost the same as the other one, but has pictures of the finished product. It doesn't look like an egg, more like a mushed egg, but if it tastes close to the same, then it's an almost win just for being homemade!

I love Cadbury Cream Eggs myself, however they are 170 calories not 150, at least from what I have read.
