Cadbury has announced that its Dairy Milk Egg 'n' Spoons will be discontinued just a few weeks before Easter rolls around.
As reported by the Daily Mail, the Egg ‘n’ Spoons treats were first introduced in 2013 and consisted of four chocolate eggs filled with either white chocolate or milk chocolate mousse.
They came with two small plastic spoons to scoop out the soft filling.
In a statement today, Cadbury said: "We’re always listening to our Cadbury fans to ensure our Easter range includes their favourites and reflects their changing taste buds.
"We’ve made a few changes to reflect this and think our 2023 line-up is eggcellent, even if we do say so ourselves!"
Hi , our Cadbury Dairy Milk Egg 'n' Spoon cartons have been discontinued to reflect our fans' changing taste buds. However, we have some great new treats to try this year!
