Cadbury’s has made a WHITE chocolate Creme Egg and if you find one you could win £2,000
There are just over 370 white eggs hidden in shops around the UK and the prizes include £2,000, £1,000 and £100
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.
Of course, the number of prizes are very limited. For example, there is only one chance to win the top £2,000 prize and there are 34 eggs worth £1,000.
There are also a number of smaller £100 prizes to be won.
If you find an egg then you must keep the voucher to claim your prize. See the
A single egg costs around 58p, while a five pack costs £2.85.
If the egg is found by a person under the age of 16 then their parent or legal guardian must claim the prize.
Cadbury's US owners Mondelez were accused of "ruining Easter" when they changed the recipe for the fondant-filled snack back in 2015.
In December, shoppers were shocked to find Creme Eggs on sale BEFORE Christmas.
While Easter eggs have already hit the shelves in supermarkets around the country...four months early.
