Quite simply the UK's favourite Easter treat, Cadbury Creme Egg is still unique in the confectionery market place as the only product which closely resembles a real egg - a chocolate shell containing white fondant and a yellow fondant centre.
Outselling every other chocolate bar during the time it is on sale between January and Easter each year, Cadbury Creme Egg is the number one brand in the filled egg market, with a market share of over 70% and a brand value of approximately £45m.

How Cadbury Creme Egg is made Cadbury Creme Egg is manufactured by making a chocolate shell in a half-egg shaped mould, which is then filled with white fondant and a dab of yellow fondant to simulate the yolk. Two mould halves are closed very quickly and cooled to allow the chocolate to set. When the moulds are opened, the eggs fall onto a conveyor which transports them, first to the foiling machines and then to the finished packing.
