It may not be the most important question to ponder, but it's certainly been on the minds of many in the run up to Easter.
What is the "goo" inside a Cadbury's Creme egg? People have taken to social media to air their confusion about what the mouth-watering substance concealed in the chocolate shell is.
One baffled Twitter user wrote: “I have a huge problem weighing on my mind: what is the substance in the middle of a Creme Egg called? What is it? A goo?”. Another chocolate lover asked: “I have a question. What is the goo made from in a Creme Egg?”.

Despite Brits devouring around a huge 333 million Creme Eggs a year, it seems many people do not know what the ‘goo’ is. Thankfully, the Daily Star has cleared up the matter.
Creme Eggs are quite rightly a favourite amongst those with a sweet tooth thanks to their unique taste. And what makes them so special is that the two chocolate shell halves are filled with a soft fondant.
The fondant is supposed to mimic the yolk and egg white of an actual egg, hence why the ‘goo’ is both white and yellow. Just like the name would suggest, the ingredients actually contain dried egg whites.
According to Cadbury's official website, over 500 million Creme Eggs are made each year - with Brits enjoying the most. It says: “Cadbury Creme Egg is the most popular and over 500 million Creme Eggs are made every year with about two thirds of that number being enjoyed in the UK. That is 3.5 Cadbury Creme Eggs for every person in this country to enjoy.”
