'Worst day of my life' - Cadbury fans only just discovering Easter chocolate has been discontinued

Cadbury's Dairy Milk Egg 'n' Spoon cartons were discontinued in 2023 just weeks before Easter leaving fans "heartbroken". 

One fan, at the time, posted on X (formerly Twitter): "Why would they just discontinue the egg n spoons like that. heartbroken."

Another added: "Dairy Milk have axed Egg n Spoon just before Easter.. I’m absolutely livid."

Cadbury said the decision to axe the popular Easter treat had been made due to "fans' changing taste buds".

A Cadbury spokesperson said: "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."

The popular Cadbury Easter treat was first introduced back in 2013, according to the Daily Mail, 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.

Despite being axed nearly a year ago, some Cadbury lovers, in the lead up to Easter 2024, are only just making the "upsetting" discovery that Dairy Milk Egg 'n' Spoons have been discontinued.

One Egg 'n' Spoon fan on X said: "Found our cadbury have discontinued the egg n spoons just as we lost to west ham,,,, this is the worst day of my life."

While another added: "Sorry no way has Cadbury discontinued egg and spoons I'm so upset."
