People either love or hate the Creme Egg, it seems. It's one of the few mainstream candies that really looks like its somewhat-gross inspiration. The gooey yolk/white combo turns off many people, I suspect. I love 'em -- don't mind the eggy texture and like how it combines with the hard shell of chocolate.
Also in stores this spring: Coconut Hershey Kisses, which may be their best flavor yet. (Better than the oh-so-bland Vanilla, for which I had high hopes.) Warning: Don't try and make thumbprint cookies with any of the weird flavored Kisses. It will work with ones that are solid (the cool, tri-striped Neapolitan Kisses) but those that feature only a thin choco shell over a filling (vanilla, coconut, caramel, etc.) will melt into a puddle when placed on a hot thumbprint cookie. I speak from experience. (Photo taken before the melting commenced...)

I love Cadbury creme eggs! So much so that after a disastrous foray into the solid chocolate kind (it wasn't vile, really, but it tasted a lot like Hershey's syrup to me. Hershey's = dirt) I decided not to mess with perfection. I am not a fan of super sweet things, generally, but there's just something about that goo in there....
I actually saw and tried. My husband says they are good, not as good as the original. I say they are just as good, just in a different way.
The orange is more subtle than I thought it would be. It's a nice change from just the overwhelming feeling of gooey sugar. :)
I saw the orange cream eggs last year on a trip to San Jose. I bought some, but didn't think they were very good. Those smash and unwrap chocolate oranges are way better if you are into that combination of flavors. I like the plain cream eggs best, or chocolate ones if I can find them. I don't like the caramel cream eggs.
Peanut Blossom Cookies actually work really well with the Caramel filled kisses. Just don't push too hard on them. My family craves them now and I get many requests for them!
