There have been two fundamental changes to Cadbury Creme Eggs and people are not taking it well.
Change number one: The recipe has been altered.
The US owner of Cadbury, Kraft, has admitted it's changed the chocolate shell from Dairy Milk to similar but different chocolate.
A spokesperson said, 'It's no longer Dairy Milk. It's similar, but not exactly Dairy Milk. We tested the new one with consumers. It was found to be the best one for the Creme Egg, which is why we've used it this year.
The Creme Egg has never been called the Cadbury's Dairy Milk Creme Egg. We have never played on the fact that Dairy Milk chocolate was used.'
Reactions have included: 'Easter is cancelled!', 'OUTRAGE', and 'tastes too sweet now, it nearly chokes you'.
Oh dear.
Change number two: Multipack contents have changed
The boxes of Creme Eggs now come in packs of five instead of six, but the price has not fallen by a penny.
People are not impressed.
But if you can get past your bereavement and still eat these altered eggs, we've got the best brownie recipe ever…
Or you can try your hand at your own home-made Easter eggs.
