Just noticed the new Cadbury easter range includes the new Egg n' Spoon. 'individually wrapped milk chocolate egg shells filled with a mousse.'

This is highly reminiscent of a Milka product I've seen on import confectionery shops' Easter ranges that always looked rather enticing. It also reminds me of an old Terry's chocolate orange easter feature from when I was little; Terry's also owned by Kraft if I'm not mistaken? I remember the old Terry's feature and I'm sure I used to like it intensely, so hopefully the innovation will not be a bad thing. Judging on the recent additions to Dairy Milk, it might actually be a rather tasty, new innovation from Cadbury.

It still, however, showcases more of the Kraft homogeneity and hybridizing. I'm still awaiting the ultimate amalgam: 'Our deliciously creamy Dairy Milk chocolate filled with delicious chunks of real Milka™'.

After the Dairy Milk Pretzels and Cadbury Philadelphia, I wouldn't put anything past them. I'm surprised the new Spoon Eggs things aren't filled with Kool Aid or 'Mac' n' Cheeze'. I didn't realise until recently that they also owned Mikado, which explains the insidious increased proliferation of its marketing. I'm sure there's some untapped potential in the fact that both Toblerone and Dairylea are triangle based.

I wasn't quite sure which forum to post this in...

With  Christmas and gifing fast approaching, I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me by recommending what is/are the best, most potent (alcoholic-tasting) liqueur-filled chocolate/s, especially if they're at a decent price.

Specifically, not adulterated with anything else such as marzipan, truffle or cream type things, such as liqueur truffles, Baileys truffle bar etc., or the Anthon Berg Cocktail Creams or marzipan liqueurs. Just straight forward liqeur-filled chocolates.

I haven't tried many and admittedly its been a number of years, but I did notice that the Anthon Berg mini-bottles (in the flat black rectangle box or long silver horizontal-column-shaped box) were way more alcoholish and nice than, for example, the Elizabeth Shaw, which tasted like really really horridly sweet sugar-syrup and nothing more.
If I recall, the Walkers Cherry Brandy ones weren't too bad and gave quite a kick, but the ASDA or Tesco own version were pretty pathetic. The Duc d'or ones werent as potent as the Anthon Berg, but they were also very very old. I think there was a Lindt range of filled bars too, but I can't remember how alcholish they were.

It would also help if they're fairly readily available on the high street, (though that inculdes department stores i.e. House of Fraser, Beatties etc.). I've heard that 'Asbach' are aparrently the best but I'm not going to buy online and the price is ludicrous. It would be nice if they're fairly decently priced too. Sometimes one can find stuff in Home Bargains-type shops, but it all seems to be Elizabeth Shaw at the moment, and I haven't seen the Anthon Berg liqueurs in the supermarkets Christmas ranges yet. Morrisons have liqueur chocolates in a make I've never tried (Doulton? something like that), as do Waitrose (Abtey) but I don't really want to waste the money buying them if theyre boring, icky, flavourless sugar-syrup like the ASDA/Elizabeth Shaw ones were.

sorry for tl:dr

Is Cadbury Dream being phased out? I've noticed it's no longer in the new boxes of Heroes (replaced by Bourneville) and I can't seem to find it in any shops round by me in Oxford (not sure about back home in Bloxwich though).

On a similar note, could anyone recommend any really delicious, good quality white chocolate? I had my last Guylian mini white rice crisp egg the other day and it was lovely compared to the overly sweet and sickly taste very commercial white chocolate often tends to have. Having said that, White chocolate seems to be ever more difficult to get hold of due to the proliferation of the dark chocolate/health food fad.

Was in the ever-popular Wednesfield Home Bargains last week when I spotted an intriguing and very gigantic box of chocolates that I'm pretty sure were part of the Milka range, although I couldn't get a good look due to it being crushingly busy.
I can't return yet for a closer examination as at present I'm stranded in Oxford, which unfortunately seems to be a Home Bargains-free zone. Really miss all the lovely random little cheap shops of the Midlands!
