Major change was made to Cadbury Creme eggs that nobody noticed

There are two kinds of people in this world: Those who love Cadbury’s Creme Eggs, and those who are wrong. But more people might be switching to the latter group after one major difference was revealed.

Easter is upon us, and while you might not have noticed there was something amiss with your little liquid-filled egg, there’s been a significant change to the recipe.

Except, it wasn’t all that recent.

Cadbury’s is famed for its Dairy Milk chocolate, which is, well, milky.

Generally, its range of products also uses the same chocolate, which is its signature taste.

However, 11 years ago, Cadbury’s was bought out by an American brand...and we all know the stereotype of how US chocolate shapes up to the UK.

Sadly, this led to a discontinuation of its lovely Dairy Milk chocolate shell, replaced instead by standard chocolate.

In 2015, on Monday 12 January, confectionery history was made forever when the brand announced it would use a ‘standard cocoa mix chocolate’ for the eggs, with a spokesperson stating, per The Standard: “It’s no longer Dairy Milk. It is similar, but not exactly Dairy Milk.”

This came after Cadbury’s was bought out by America’s Kraft brand, and then Mondelez.

The spokesperson went on to say that the new (not-so-new) chocolate was tested on ‘consumers’ and was ‘found to be the best one for Creme Egg’.

He added: “The Creme Egg had never been called Cadbury’s Dairy Milk Creme Egg. We have never played on the fact that Dairy Milk was used.”

The first Creme Egg was created by Joseph Fry in his attempt to make a different kind of chocolate bar.

But in 1919 Cadbury and Fry merged themselves together to join brains to come up with something even better.

The very first cream-filled egg in 1923, as per Kitchn.

Then, in 1963 Fry’s Creme Eggs were released, and ultimately changed to the Cadbury Creme Eggs we all know and loved in 1971.

Shockingly, people have just found out what a Creme Egg is made of, and some had their world turned upside down.

“Confession time: I thought creme eggs had actual egg inside so I avoided them til like.. last year,” recently confessed one social media user.

Egg white counts as ‘actual egg’, right?

Another commented: “I just learned that the inside of a creme egg is made of fondant and the foundations of my world have crumbled.”

Ah well, every day is a chance to learn something new.
