That will have people up in arms :D

It's no longer Dairy Milk chocolate so I would say that is a good change.

Pity they wouldn't make the inside less sickly sweet.

    Do these people not learn from history?
    First there was Hitler invading Russia, then Coca Cola changed their recipe, now this, it's an outrage.

    If they do taste very different, my love affair with Cadbury's is over, forever.

    Dairy Milk is lardy candy so it might be an improvement.

    Is this because Cadbury's were bought by an American company and they want to pull us into line with their awful American chocolate.?

    If they do taste different, at the end of the day, what will happen is that people will stop buying them, and they will see this, and they will either go back to the old recipe or stick with the new one, and carry on losing money/sales...

    "Tell that to the Dickensian little boy holding one of the new Creme Eggs in his cupped hands and weeping, Kraft." Total b*stards.

    Nasty sickly-sweet, low grade confection reformulated - what's the story or problem?

    My elderly Mum buys Cadbury Creme Eggs and knits little chicks to go. over them and sells them for charity. She has made hundreds over the years and raised a lot of money.

    We bought some on Sat. And they are now packed in boxes of FIVE instead of Six for the same money.

    They could make a turkey chocolate egg, but like a Turkish Delight.

    Wish they'd cut out all the dairy. But not good for my diabetes, so doesn't matter much to me...only ever really liked the caramel eggs anyway.

    Why change a successful product? Unless they plan to do a Slurm and release a disgusting new product, rack up a whole bunch of publicity and then release Classic Cadbury's Cream Eggs after everyone complains.

    A Creme Ostrich egg would be a seller, although it would need a spoon.

    Can you imagine what the vomit would look like? Pigeons would be well fed though.

    The selling of cadburys to a foreign firm has been a complete disaster for the workforce and the customers.

    I used to love creme eggs as a child but I find the last few years they've become incredibly sickly sweet. Not only are they changing the quantity size from 6 to 5 pack but they are also giving us sun-standard chocolate!
