- Cadbury’s fan favorite has been crowned the most anxiously awaited Easter treat
Ahead of Easter Sunday, Uber Eats have revealed their top ten best-selling Easter Eggs on the app – and the number one sweet treat happens to be a Cadbury fan favourite.
Last year, from April 1 to 9, the online food delivery company announced that more Easter eggs were delivered to UK customers than eggs from chickens, with a remarkable 55,025 chocolate eggs arriving at customers’ doors.
And now the company has announced the ten best-selling egg-shaped chocolate treats of 2023: Cadbury’s Mini Eggs won the gold medal as national favorite.

This tasty treat reigned supreme, with Milkybar White Chocolate Mini Eggs following close behind.
Maltesers’ Easter Egg came third as the most ordered treat, followed by Cadbury’s Creme Egg and Cadbury’s Dairy Milk Buttons Easter Egg in fourth and fifth place.
Rounding out the rest of Britain’s favorite Easter treats are: Smarties Egg, Kinder Surprise Egg, Maltesers Teasers, Cadbury Dairy Milk Egg & Caramel Bars and Terry’s Chocolate Orange Mini Eggs.
Uber Eats has also crowned Londoners as the country’s biggest Easter egg lovers, ordering a whopping 14,353 Easter eggs between April 1 and 9.
Birmingham and Manchester followed closely, because the British in these cities cannot resist the sweet temptation.
Surprisingly, Scotland took a less chocolatey route, with just 2,272 Easter eggs knocking on doors in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen.
This month isn’t all about Easter eggs and other confectionery creations, though; 2,166 hot cross buns also flew straight into people’s Easter baskets as the country fully embraced the range of Easter treats available to order to your home.
Alex Troughton, Director of Grocery and Retail at Uber Eats said: ‘Easter eggs always become one of the most popular items on the app during the Easter period.’

Meanwhile, a tearoom is selling the most expensive Swiss chocolate Easter egg in Britain for a whopping £375.
Betty’s Cafe Tea Rooms, based in chic Harrogate, North Yorkshire, sells luxury chocolate made to order by the celebrity-popular company.
Comedian Jason Manford and TV star Giovanna Fletcher – wife of McFly star Tom – are fans of the popular cafe.
Called ‘Betty’s Grande Easter Egg’, it weighs a whopping 5.4 kg and is 55 cm high. It contains 576 calories per 100 g – this is a total of 31,104 calories.
