To check if you're a winner you'll need to keep an eye out when you open your Creme Egg for the special half-white chocolate, half-milk chocolate version. If you do find one of these rarities, be sure to unwrap it carefully and find the ticket inside which will tell you how to claim your prize.

The "yolk" get its colour from paprika, a spokesperson at the confectionary HQ told The Daily Star, and 'an extract from the spice, made from dried and ground red peppers, helps create the eggy look but customers shouldn't be able to taste any paprika'.

As it turns out, the little yellow orb is made with fondant and paprika. Well, an extract made from paprika anyway. Of course, you can't actually taste any of that smoky capsicum flavour, but there's no denying this is a refreshingly natural additive despite its slightly clinical name: colour (160C).

Well, Cadbury say the gooey centre that makes up a Creme Egg is actually made of fondant. According to their website, this comprises of sugar, milk, glucose syrup, cocoa butter, inverted sugar syrup, dried whey, vegetable fats and dried egg white.

It tastes like sugar. I don't know in what dimension the inside is meant to be fondant because it is literally incomparable to any food meant to be consumed by living beings. Worse still, the texture is ever so slightly grainy. The inside of a chocolate egg should be silky and smooth.

What is the Cadbury Creme Egg 2024? ›

For Easter 2024 Shoppers will be encouraged to keep an eye out for an extra special half-milk chocolate, half-white chocolate Cadbury Creme Egg. If a lucky shopper unwraps a winning egg, they will be rewarded with one of the hundreds of cash prizes on offer, including the chance to nab the top prize of £10,000.

Cadbury is celebrating its 200-year anniversary in 2024 and honing in on a “consistent” message of generosity to celebrate the milestone. “It's not just about reaching 200,” says Elise Burditt, senior marketing director at Cadbury owner Mondelez, speaking to Marketing Week.

Food historian Andrew Smith writes: "During the 1880s, a popular specialty was made with chocolate syrup, cream, and raw eggs mixed into soda water. In poorer neighborhoods, a less expensive version of this treat was created, called the Egg Cream (made without the eggs or cream)."

Cadbury Crème Eggs are a popular chocolate treat every Easter, but you might be surprised to know what the inside filling is really made of. The egg consists of a hard chocolate shell and contains a sweet, gooey orange and white filling.

One person who had pondered the question took to Twitter to find out and asked: 'What's inside a Creme Egg? Why is the cream orange and white?' And other people were surprised to learn that the sticky filling is actually made up of fondant, which itself is made from icing sugar, and a bit of food colouring.

Not only are they even smaller now, but the filling is also lacking. I remember them being so much bigger and better with a larger volume of tastier creme. Anyone else still buy these and end up disappointed every year?
