IN a real life Charlie and the Chocolate Factory style hunt Cadbury's has made a white chocolate version of its much-loved creme egg - and if you find one you could win £2,000.

Cadbury's isn't making it easy. Oh no. Egg lovers will have to hunt out the white eggs as they will be camouflaged in the same packaging as a classic one.

The eggs are the same as the original version with a gooey fondant yolk centre, except the shell is made out of white chocolate.

The white eggs are already in shops, including local newsagents, Sainsbury's Local, Tesco Express and Co-op and will be around until April 1.

There are believed to be around 371 white eggs in these shops. We've asked Cadbury's to confirm these numbers.

If you're lucky enough to find a white egg then you could be in line to win up to £2,000.
