Where can you find affordable Cadbury Eggs? Good luck. The most desired item this time of the year, is the delicious gift from the Universe known as the Cadbury Egg. Comic Gregory Behrendt famously said: "I'd like to wake up inside a giant Cadbury Egg and EAT my way out." Why do they taste so good?
What's The Secret Of The Cadbury Egg?
According to Huffpost.com, the secret is in the heating:
The particular magic of the Cadbury creme egg is that the chocolate shell houses a gooey, runny "yolk" and "albumen." But while there are some real egg whites involved, the creme filling is really just fondant (aka, lots of sugar) dyed with food coloring to look like the insides of an egg. The sugar mixture is simply heated, mixed and cooled until the syrup forms a white creme -- but obsessive and creative bakers know that even one degree difference in the heating and cooling methods can return very different fondants.
Many have tried a variety of homemade Cadbury Egg recipes like, Cadbury Creme Egg Stuffed Cookies, Creme Egg Cupcakes and Cadbury Creme Pull Apart Sweet Rolls, just to name a few. But as they are good?

The Search For Affordable Cadbury Eggs
Last year at this time, three days before Easter, there were NO Cadbury Eggs to be found with 40 miles of our house in Central Massachusetts. This week, Heidi in line at the supermarket brought four boxes of the regular sized Cadbury Eggs, with 4 eggs in each box. The kid rung and and, said, $42.36 please. WHOA!!!!
Of course Heidi tapped the breaks and asked why it was so expensive. Each box of four Cadbury Eggs were over $9 dollars each! We checked and found more affordable Cadbury Eggs.
So if you're not desparate you can find on line, the four egg boxes at many outlets, if they still have them for $3.49 to $4.49 each. If you plan to go to an actual store, you may want to try the old fashioned call ahead, and ask them to put aside a few boxes for you. That can still work, if you get lucky.
I recommend going big or go home. Amazon is selling the 48 pack for $32.98 with one day shipping, to get it here in time for Easter Sunday! Considering that my wife was charged $9 bucks a for a box of four, the 48 count pack of eggs is a better deal. I just ordered it on Amazon and it should be here tomorrow. Good luck on your search for affordable Cadbury Eggs!
Easter is March 31st this year and you are probably looking for a great lunch restaurants on the South Shore. Don't worry I've selected five of the best spots for you and your family to enjoy a nice meal after Easter service.
Easter was always a big deal in my family. I grew up in Wrentham and we would always go to church on Easter Sunday. My sister and I would dress up in gorgeous white dresses and flowered headbands. After the service ended we got in the car and went down the street to the Lake Pearl Ballroom. They always had a massive Easter buffet and it was packed with people coming from church. Sometimes there would be New England Patriots players in the restaurant too, which was really cool!
I don't live in Wrentham anymore. I live in Weymouth (on the South Shore). But, I'm hopeful that these post-Easter lunch spots will be helpful to anyone who also lives on the South Shore!
Easter was always a great day in my family. We would always go to church and then out to lunch. Now that I'm a Mother, it's time for me to start making my own Easter Traditions!
There Are Great Restaurants On The South Shore
I was on the Facebook group called Weymouth Foodies and someone asked the community where the best place was for Easter lunch. I love this Facebook page because it allows people to ask questions about food and tell the community about a great meal they had. Just having this group of food-lovers encourages me to try new places.
Tori Mahoney asked the group, "Looking for recommendations for restaurants for Easter lunch. Thanks in advance!" The responses flooded in with opinions. I personally have been to almost every restaurant recommended so I will personally choose my top five for Easter lunch.
You will read about why these are my favorite spots. You'll learn if these places take reservations for Easter lunch. I will give you addresses and phone numbers for each establishment. Whatever I can do to make your life easier, I will!
5 Great Restaurants To Have Easter Lunch
Scarlet Oak Tavern
Scarlet Oak Tavern
1217 Main St, Hingham, MA 02043

(781) 749-8200
Scarlet Oak Tavern is one of the nicest restaurants on the South Shore. My husband and I only go there on special date nights. It's located in an old barn. There's a gorgeous, cozy fireplace right when you walk into the restaurant entrance. They have a wonderful dish called the "Seared $10k Tuna." It's called that because the restaurant won $10k in a competition for the rub that they use on this tuna dish. It would be a wonderful place for an Easter lunch. But it will be an expensive tab.

I have nothing but amazing things to say about Sorelle! But let's start with the bread. Is it made with an addictive drug in it or something or is it really just THAT good? (Hint: it's SO good). We love their mussels and chicken Statler and drinks. This restaurant takes reservations, so I encourage you to call ahead and get your spot for Easter.
