The earliest CADBURY Easter Eggs were laid in 1875, but the first cream-filled eggs we love today didn't hatch until 1923. Competing with internationally popular Swiss chocolate, CADBURY created the brand's first Milk Chocolate Bar in 1897.

Cadbury have revealed the decision was made due to the 'changing taste buds' of their customers. The popular treat has been around for 10 years and fans fumed that it was axed before Easter.

So yes when you eat a Cadbury Creme Egg you are essentially just eating a chocolate shell filled with liquid sugar. Health No delicious.

It was in 1824 that Quaker businessman John Cadbury opened his first shop, a grocer's in Birmingham's Bull Street. It was to be the beginnings of a family business that would make milk chocolate the popular treat it remains in the UK and act as a pioneer of good business practices.

Cadbury was founded in 1824 in Birmingham, England, by John Cadbury (1801–1889), a Quaker who sold tea, coffee and drinking chocolate. Cadbury developed the business with his brother Benjamin, followed by his sons Richard and George.

fondant Composition. Cadbury Creme Eggs are manufactured as two chocolate half shells, each of which is filled with a white fondant made from sugar, glucose syrup, inverted sugar syrup, dried egg white, and flavouring.

According to Abbey, what you're eating inside of the Cadbury Creme Egg is simply sugar, corn syrup, and water. Also called fondant, it's a very common ingredient in the baking world. Inside the egg is nothing more than white and yellow fondant, just in a more "liquidish" form than you're probably used to.

“A chocolate egg has a different eat quality to a bar,” Murray told MirrorOnline. “The egg is spun so that the chocolate is thinner and so melts easily in the mouth releasing all of the cocoa notes.”

Creme Eggs are produced by Cadbury in the United Kingdom, by The Hershey Company in the United States, and by Cadbury Adams in Canada. They are sold by Mondelez International in all markets except the US, where The Hershey Company has the local marketing rights.

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.

The cocoa beans are fermented for several days with banana leaves, which helps develop the rich flavor. This cocoa sourcing may be one factor of Cadbury mini egg magic - but there must be more to it.

Quaker John Cadbury (12 August 1801 – 11 May 1889) was a Quaker and English proprietor, tea and coffee trader and founder of Cadbury, the chocolate business based in Birmingham, England.
