These Creme Egg Scotch Eggs Are Making People Go Crazy

And their hips wider, presumably. With each one clocking up a mere 1,000 calories. Good God.

But hey, when you want to treat yourself, you might as well do it in style. And we could do this. A thousand times, yes. All thanks to chef, Phil Joy, from The Park Bikeworks, a cool bike shop and café in Derby, who created these little balls of boldness (chocolate gegs) and posted these pics to his facebook page. It has now gone viral, with 17,000 liking this genius recipe that taps into our nostalgia and love for the traditional creme egg.

Is it the thoughts of the gooey cream egg centre, or maybe that it’s covered in a rich, brownie mixture, or that it’s coated in chocolate flakes? We can’t decide.

Sweet Baby Jesus. We are in a sweat now.

The café sell around 100 per week, getting orders from far and wide (£20 delivery charge to Ireland!). That’s a lot of calories to our count.

The creator, also a talented photographer, took some proper snaps of his oozing creations, and boom, we’ve sinned just looking at them. Would you… could you?
