White Creme Egg

You could win a prize!

After the success of last year's limited edition white chocolate Creme Egg, Cadbury's have decided to bring them back for the second year running. Just in case you're not familiar with the new confection, Cadbury's have created a white chocolate version of the classic Creme Egg - but there's more to it than that.

Essentially, it's more limited edition than the normal Creme Egg as there are only a few out there for chocolate-lovers to get their hands on. They're wrapped in exactly the same foil as the original, so it's nigh-on impossible to tell whether you've got a white chocolate Creme Egg, or the original milk chocolate.

After being off the shelves for years, Tiffin made its comeback in 2016. Hallelujah!

2) Cadbury Coconut Boost

The core centre made up of dessicated coconut combined with a normal Boost bar was just too good - why on EARTH was this masterpiece ever taken out of circulation?!

3) Mars Delight

That caramel and chocolate cream filling mixed with that wafer, was a pure delight. Sadly, we despite people's efforts, this Mars chocolate bar won't be returning anytime soon.

Milk and white chocolate AND praline in one bar? Yup. Cadbury's really are one of the best at coming up with new recipes.

6) Time Out

The Time Out was very slyly taken off the shelves - basically a chocolate wafer, but SO MUCH MORE. Thankfully, they still exist in shops as a single wafer.

7) Cadbury Snow Flake

The geniuses at Cadbury decided to merge their white Dream chocolate with the standard flake to create utter perfection in this little bar. But why, oh why, did they stop making them?!

11) Cadbury Fuse

Nuts, raisins, fudge and cereal pieces all in one chocolate bar?! It's years since we last saw a Fuse bar around. Sob.

12) Terry's Pyramint

Basically, a pyramid version of an After Eight but with a slightly sloppier middle. We miss these!

13) KitKat Senses

We can't for the life of us think why these went extinct. But they've been refashioned in a selection box, so that's something at least.

14) Milkybar Choo

We're hoping this one will make a comeback. The strange combination of white chocolate and fudge worked surprisingly perfectly.

15) Cadbury Taz Bar

When Taz became extinct, this chocolate bar was revolutionised as a Freddo bar with caramel. But we miss that devil.

16) Twix Top

This was the highlight of our school packed lunches... Anyone else?!

17) Cadbury Snaps

They're like Pringles - but chocolate. And just like our favourite snack, you couldn't ever just have one Snap!

18) Rowntree's Secret

Withdrawn due to low sales volumes, the marshmallow centre wrapped in thick chocolate was a real treat back in the day.

19) Cadbury Wispa Mint

We've all had a Wispa, haven't we? But the mint version had an extra edge to it that was just simply divine. Sigh.

The mighty chew.

Forget Maltesers, this really was a lighter way to enjoy chocolate.

However, not only do you get to taste the exquisite mix of fondant and white chocolate, there's also a prize in it for those who discover the rare chocolate.

Of course, there's supposed to be no way of knowing whether you've picked up a milk chocolate Creme Egg or a white chocolate one - but thankfully, a spokesperson for Cadbury's has confirmed that there is actually a way to check without opening them up.

Speaking to The Independent, they said, "All white Cadbury Creme Eggs, whilst wrapped in the same iconic packaging as the classic creme egg, will contain nutritional information that is specific to the white chocolate variant.

"It is a legal requirement for all food manufacturers to display all ingredients on the packaging."

So there we have it!

The ingredients list has a tell-tale clue - unlike the 'milk' chocolate eggs, the limited edition ones say 'white'. Simple really!

Now with this revelation hopefully people will just be carefully checking the ingredients list, rather than unwrapping them.

Both 'normal' and white Creme Eggs are available to buy now until the 21 April. And although not everyone is a fan of this new egg, it seems a lot of people are, with some asking for them to be a permanent fixture. One Twitter user pleaded, 'Can you please just actually bring out the white chocolate creme egg permanently?'

We've got to say, we agree.

What is the prize in a white Creme Egg?

Buyers could win a cash prize of between £50 and £10,000. Bring. It. ON.
