Bought one of each kind of chocolate easter egg-type candy they had. Cadbury's classic creme egg is the clear winner, of course. It's a shame they've been shrinking them the last few years. I believe they're down to a pathetic 1.35 oz size this year.
Russel Stover's the runner-up. Rather than compete with the Cadbury egg, however, they've developed a marshmallow/caramel confection that is shockingly and scandalously perfect. If it wasn't for the pure nostalgia factor of the classic Cadbury, I'd declare this one the winner. The chocolate is a good mix of thin shell and sturdy, and the marshmallow fluff makes you think of a hardboiled egg.
Russel Stover makes two chocolate creme eggs in a milk and dark chocolate variety. These were good, but a little decadent. The creme resembled a thick caramel rather than a decadent truffle-like smoothness. The chocolate itself is smoth and delicious, so while there's room for improvement, my overall opinion is strong.
The store-brand eggs were entirely inedible. First of all, the chocolate has that gritty cheap terrible texture and taste. The egg-cream filling cannot deserve the fancy creme spelling, because it the worst kind of goo. Furthermore, the bottom was so sticky that the wrapper flaked little pieces of aluminum. Icky! I took two bites and threw it away.
