Dairy Milk Oreo-ooo Eggs - Halloween Edition (Co-op) By @cinabar
I guess it is now the start of the Halloween season so we have competed some supermarket sweeps to see what spooky Foodstuff Finds we could see. I was actually pleased with the selection this year and we have some nice items to write about over the next couple of weeks. I spotted these Dairy Milk Oreo-ooo Eggs in the Halloween section and rather liked the bag they were packed in. There is even a ghost adding the extra ‘ooo’ at the end of Oreo.
I opened up the bag and was a bit more disappointed by the effort on the wrapper, that wasn’t anything partially spooky or interesting, just Oreo blue and Cadbury purple, nothing scary. Nothing ghost shaped. They are the same shape mini eggs Cadbury keep re-using for varying themed products, think Daim Robins for Christmas and various Easter treats of course which is where the shape started.
So the actual eggs are tasty, once you have got through the irritating foil which peeled in the tiniest of slithers for me. The chocolate shell is quite thick and made with sweet Cadbury chocolate. The filling has a good Oreo flavour, lots of biscuit crumb adding a light crunch and a nice creamy flavour from the Oreo ‘stuff’ centre. I like the flavours and the eggs, but felt they could have done a bit more with the theming, at least the Daim eggs looked like robins. All they have to do is use the same product exactly as it is for Christmas (put a snowman on the bag) and Easter (perhaps a chick design), low effort.
