Cadbury Creme Eggs are popular all year round, but you know Easter is just around the corner when shelves are full of the famous treat. The egg is made up of a hard milk chocolate shell covering a sweet gooey filling.
But have you ever wondered what the Creme Egg goo is made from? One person who had pondered the question took to Twitter to find out and asked: "What's inside a Creme Egg? Why is the cream orange and white?"
And other people were surprised to learn that the sticky filling is actually made up of fondant, which itself is made from icing sugar, and a bit of food colouring, Daily Mail reports. One Twitter user responded: "The cream resembles an egg white and yolk! Or so I've heard."

Cadbury says the middle of the Egg is made of sugar, milk, glucose syrup, cocoa butter, invert sugar syrup, dried whey, vegetable fats and dried egg white. One person wrote: "Life isn't the same anymore when you realise the filling inside the Cadbury Creme Egg is just icing sugar."
But while this Twitter user was disappointed to learn the answer, others did not seem put off at all. One user commented: "I would drink gallons of the Cadbury Creme Egg filling."
Another wrote: "If I knew how to make the Cadbury Creme Egg filling I would eat an entire bowl of it." A third penned: "Who else finds the creamy filling in the Cadbury Creme Egg, to be both absolutely disgusting, yet somehow wonderful?"
