In a bilateral attack on the glory of Easter, Cadbury's has stunned consumers by changing the recipe of its Creme Eggs and reducing their number in boxes from six to five.

The insanely sweet but moreish snack is only on sale for three months of the year. making the change all the more egregious.

Reports that the latest batch of Creme Eggs tasted different were followed up by The Sun, wih Cadbury's confirming to the tabloid that it has switched out Dairy Milk for a "standard cocoa mix chocolate" in the shell.

"It's no longer Dairy Milk. It's similar, but not exactly Dairy Milk," a Kraft spokesperson said.

"We tested the new one with consumers. It was found to be the best one for the Creme Egg, which is why we've used it this year."

"The Creme Egg has never been called the Cadbury's Dairy Milk Creme Egg. We have never played on the fact that Dairy Milk chocolate was used."

Tell that to the Dickensian little boy holding one of the new Creme Eggs in his cupped hands and weeping, Kraft.

The horror was compounded by the fact that there is now one less egg in each multipack, though this has not necessarily come alongside a corresponding decrease in price.

The things you hobbits get outraged about...
It's what it stands for. US food giant comes in, takes over well-known and well-loved UK company, claims they won't close factories, closed factories, and then starts to change well-known and well-loved confectionary.

Infuriates me, and either the govt were powerless to stop it, or didn't do enough to stop it.

Frankly I thought you'd be more offended that I referred to you as hobbits haha
