The question has stood for some time: what would happen if someone incubated a Cadbury Creme Egg? The Cadbury eggs on sale in stores are nearly always unfertilized.  At most, there's the occasional blood spot on the yolk.  But nothing more. Until now. Fertilizing these eggs involved a complicated lab process, and is outside the scope of this discussion*.

Fertilized eggs were incubated very carefully.  The process requires finesse: too cold, and the embryo doesn't develop; too hot, and the chocolate melts.

Several fertilized eggs were incubated for a length of time between 4 days and 14 days.  Each of the eggs should contain a developed embryo**.  Here's the first:

More pictures are forthcoming. *Frankly, this is backyard-meth-lab-style science.  I don't know what I'm doing, but it seems to be working so far (except see below note).
