Cadbury fans are outraged as they realize the iconic Easter treat is no longer available

CADBURY fans are furious after realizing an iconic Easter treat has been axed.

As Easter approaches, shoppers can now get their hands on a range of popular Cadbury chocolates, including the Crunchie and the classic Dairy Milk.

But last year, Cadbury owner Mondelez discontinued its Dairy Milk Egg 'n' Spoon boxes

And some shoppers have only just noticed.

The company justified the move in February last year, saying it reflected “changing taste buds”.

It means that the chocolate eggs are not available this Easter.

Fans of the treat – launched ten years ago – called the move a 'crime' at the time.

And as Easter approaches, some shoppers have only just noticed it's missing from shelves.

One said: 'I found out Cadbury have discontinued Egg 'n' Spoons just as we lost West Ham – this is the worst day of my life.”

Another wrote: “I'm sorry that Cadbury hasn't stopped doing Egg and Spoons in any way. I'm so upset.”

A third added: “I'm missing Egg n Spoon dearly at the moment – I hope Cadbury knows what it's done to me.”

At the time of the announcement last year, someone said: “Omg I'm furious, they're my favorite.”

“I literally looked everywhere for them because I love them so much and now it makes sense why I can't find them,” said another.

A third customer said: 'This is an absolute crime. Cadbury is bringing them back.”

Cadbury's Dairy Milk Egg 'n' Spoon product consisted of a purple egg carton containing four chocolate eggs wrapped in foil and placed next to two purple spoons.

Fans could scoop a delicious chocolate mousse into the hard chocolate shells.

The Egg 'n' Spoon boxes were first launched in the UK in 2013 and several versions have hit the shelves over the past decade.

In a statement, Cadbury said: “Our Cadbury Dairy Milk Egg 'n' Spoon boxes have been discontinued to reflect the changing taste buds of our fans.

“But we have some great new treats to try this year!”

But shoppers are looking forward to a brand new Cadbury chocolate bar.

The cream egg bar is based on an Easter classic loved across the country – and chocoholics can't get enough of it.

Cadbury fans have also been treated to new Mini Egg biscuits.

Shoppers went into an uproar when they saw the delicacy on the shelves of major supermarkets.

Packages come with four chocolate chip cookies “wrapped with micro small Eggs”.

Meanwhile, Morrisons has slashed the price of Easter eggs to just 75p.

Easter eggs from Maltesers, Cadbury Buttons, Smarties, KitKat and Freddo – and more – now cost just 75p in stores.

A chocolate lover shared the good news this week with Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK.

She wrote: “Easter eggs 75p Morrisons with another card.”

A photo of the advert showed that the 96g to 129g Easter eggs had been reduced in price from £1.50 to 75p for those with a More card.

Shoppers can get their hands on great value Cadbury Mini Eggs, KitKat, Smarties, Maltesers, Cadbury Buttons, Cadbury White Buttons and Cadbury Freddo.
