Cadbury Creme Egg Ice Cream

          Easter products appear in stores early here, and I first spotted this Cadbury Creme Egg ice cream in mid-January. The label proclaims: 'Delicious vanilla ice cream with Cadbury chocolate chunks and added Goo'. Goo apparently being the yellow 'yolk' bit inside Cadbury Creme eggs.
 Based on this description, I was expecting ice cream that tasted like, you guessed it, a Cadbury Creme egg. Not too much to ask, considering the name, right? Apparently I was aiming too high. What I actually got was vanilla ice cream with little chocolate specks (definitely not chunks) and some swirls of goldish-yellow colored 'goo'. If you got a good spoonful of the goo (by determinedly digging it out of the vanilla, not that I'd do such a thing of course!), it did taste like the yellow yolk of Cadbury Creme eggs....but there just wasn't enough swirled throughout the ice cream to convey that taste in a normal scoop. Basically, the overall impression I had was of plain vanilla ice cream with some chocolate flecks in it. Imagine a generic brand chocolate chip ice cream. Ok because it's ice cream, but they could've done SOOO much better.
Overall consensus: Bypass this ice cream and spend your calories on the Cadbury Creme Eggs instead!
