cadbury confections

There are two times during the year when I look forward to eating candy more than ever. One is Halloween, for the Brach's Mellowcreme Pumpkins. The second is Easter, for the Cadbury Creme Eggs. Because they are limited to a season, I somehow manage to justify eating them in extreme excess during that short period of time.

This year I have come across a whole new way to indulge in my springtime sugar-fest. The first I had ever seen a Cadbury Creme Egg used in a recipe was earlier this week in this picture from Zoey Cakes.

Uhhh... yum?

So after a really quick search, I've discovered that these crave-worthy cupcakes are not alone in their Cadbury creativity. Here are a handful of other recipes that make me want to go and buy up the creme egg stock at the A&P down the street.
