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!

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
