What is Creme Egg filling made of? ›

According to Cadbury, it's actually fondant – made of sugar, milk, glucose, syrup, cocoa butter, inverted sugar syrup, dried whey, vegetable fats and dried egg white. “Life isn't the same anymore when you realise the filling inside the Cadbury Creme Egg is just icing sugar,” one person wrote.

Are Cadbury eggs discontinued? ›

Cadbury has revealed it has axed a Mini Eggs chocolate from its range in the lead up to Easter 2024. Cadbury is responsible for a range of popular chocolates including Boost, Crunchie, the classic Dairy Milk as well as Easter favourites Creme Eggs.

To eat a Creme Egg using this method: Use the tip of your front teeth to bite off the top half-inch (1.3 cm) from the Creme Egg's pointed end. Use the tip of your tongue to lick out the filling. Bite off small pieces from the remaining shell and eat them.

Experts have said that the increasing cost has come due to rising cocoa prices, as well as other supply chain issues.

Cadbury said the decision to axe the popular Easter treat had been made due to "fans' changing taste buds". A Cadbury spokesperson said: "Our Cadbury Dairy Milk Egg 'n' Spoon cartons have been discontinued to reflect our fans' changing taste buds. "However, we have some great new treats to try."

But you might be wondering what is actually inside this beloved childhood chocolate treat. “What's inside a crème egg? Why is the cream orange and white?” one person asked on Twitter. Well, it's because the sweet, gooey filling is made up of fondant, which is actually made up of icing sugar, and some food colouring.

As Insider's Mary Hanbury previously reported, the only differences between the UK and US versions are the fat content and the amount of cocoa used. While the US Cadbury bars use cocoa butter as the fat, in order to meet FDA standards, the UK is allowed to use vegetable oils such as palm and shea.

Ingredients: MILK, sugar, cocoa butter, cocoa mass, glucose syrup, glucose-fructose syrup, whey powder (from MILK), vegetable fats (palm, shea), humectant (glycerol), emulsifier (E442), colour (paprika extract), flavourings. Milk chocolate: milk solids 14 % minimum. Contains vegetable fats in addition to cocoa butter.
