Sweet Saturday: Cadbury Egg vs. Reeses Pieces Egg vs. Butterfinger Egg

Let the battle begin..

Every year around spring time, candy companies in the US market their candies to appeal to local customs and traditions. In comes the Egg-shaped candy.
The great news is this candy is extra fresh and goes on sale right away because it has a limited window of relevance due to it’s theme.
Hence I picked up the following candies listed below in order of my preference after trying them this year.

The Cadbury Mini Egg

TheCadbury mini egg has been a lifelong favorite for me and clearly takes the win. Cadbury makes the most deliciously smooth and creamy milk chocolate and that’s coming from a person who likes dark chocolate better. The milk chocolate is covered by a thin, crisp sugar shell. You can either crunch right into it or let it dissolve in your mouth to savor it. This is a favorite candy of all time.

Reeses Pieces Eggs

Reeses Pieces on an average day are delicious and addictive. Similar to an m&m, only within the crunchy shell is peanut butter. Yum! I was surprised at how large the Egg version of this candy was. The eggs were, in fact, much larger than the Cadbury mini eggs. The shell also felt different to a normal Reeses Pieces - shinier and thicker or harder? But at the end of the day it was still a delightful marriage of crisp shell with smooth peanut butter within. These take second place.

Butterfinger Eggs

I fall sucker to the Butterfinger Egg every year. It's like I forget that it is just okay until I eat the first blasted one. At the end of the day I think a normal Butterfinger Candy Bar is the best way to go. It has the best proportion of chocolate to Butterfinger-goodness. The eggs have way more chocolate in the ratio and (for me) that takes away the whole draw of the Butterfinger.

What about you?
