A popular Easter treat will not be available to buy from shops this year as the decision has been made to discontinue them.
The Cadbury Dairy Milk Egg 'n' Spoon chocolate was a firm favourite amongst chocolate fans in previous years. But bosses at Mondelez International, who own Cadbury, say that tastebuds have "changed" and they will no longer be making them.
This news has got Cadbury lovers "fuming" and some have even described it as a "crime" that they won't be able to get their favourite chocolate any more.
The Mirror reports that the popular chocolate goodies came inside a purple egg box, which contained four Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate eggs, filled with a bubbly chocolate mousse. The box set also contained two purple spoons for scooping out the inside.
Speaking about the change, a Mondelez International spokesperson said: "We’re always listening to our Cadbury fans to ensure our Easter range includes their favourites and reflects their changing tastebuds. We’ve made a few changes to reflect this and think our 2023 line-up is egg-cellent, even if we do say so ourselves!"
But fans of the Easter egg have branded the move a "crime" as it means the Egg 'n' Spoon's won't be available to buy anymore.
People have taken to TikTok to share their disappointment after the news broke, with one person saying: "This is an absolute crime. Cadbury's bring them back."
While another wrote: "Please bring back the egg and spoon chocolates!! I seriously crave these every day and can’t understand why you would discontinue your best chocolates :(".
Someone else wrote: "I've literally been looking everywhere for them because I love them so much and now it makes sense why I can't find them," while a fourth put: "Why?? They were incredible! I noticed the chocolate one wasn’t out last year only the Oreo one."
The Egg 'n' Spoon cartons were first launched in the UK in 2013. Last year, Cadbury released Oreo-based Egg 'n' Spoon chocolate eggs which contained a Oreo chocolate mousse with crunchy pieces.
