And yet, they seem to taste different
If you’ve already tucked into a packet of Cadbury Mini Eggs this Easter you might have wondered whether the chocolate has changed.
Last year, Cadbury changed its Creme Egg recipe, resulting in lost sales and a petition to reverse the change, as there was something “different” about the taste of the product.
And that has led to a lot of speculation about the nation’s beloved Mini Eggs:
@CadburyUK Your mini eggs don’t taste like they used to, has something changed? 🙁

@CherryWallis @CadburyUK Kraft took them over. Creme eggs taste foul now! They use American chocolate now

Can someone in the UK answer this question, have they changed the chocolate in Cadburys Mini Eggs now also? They taste different

…and so on.
However, this morning in an email to London Loves Business, Cadbury denied it had changed the Mini Egg recipe.
Having tasted Mini Eggs this year – purely for journalism purposes, of course – this reporter is convinced there’s a conspiracy afoot.
