In the run up to Easter, seasonal Creme Eggs become a firm favourite among shoppers and chocolate lovers, keen to stock up before they vanish from the supermarket shelves until next year
Cadbury fans are impressed after the chocolatier unveiled the way it makes the iconic Creme Egg. The beloved seasonal sweet treat typically makes a reappearance in shops up and down the country from New Year 's Day until Easter Sunday.
They're made in the shape of an egg, with a chunky milk chocolate shell and a white and yellow filling reminiscent of fondant. In the run-up to Easter, Creme Eggs are a firm favourite among shoppers and chocolate lovers, keen to stock up before they vanish from the supermarket shelves until next year. Though the majority of people know what makes up a Creme Egg, many are unaware of how they're made - until now.
‌
On its official Instagram page, Cadbury pulled back the curtain and showcased the intricacies of the well-oiled machines responsible for concocting countless Creme Eggs for the masses in a video that's been viewed almost 200,000 times at the time of writing.
The footage was simply captioned: 'The most satisfying content you've seen all day.' In it, melted chocolate can be seen being distributed into half-egg shaped moulds.
The filling is then added - though this part wasn't shown in the clip - before the half-eggs are joined together by a machine in order to make a whole egg.
They're then cooled, with the two halves said to bond together during this process. Once they're solid and stable, they can be removed from the moulds and wrapped in the famous red, purple and yellow foil. They're then added to a box for distribution.
In the comments section, people shared their thoughts. One person said: 'Wow so clever,' while another said: 'Mmmmmm', adding a red loveheart emoji.
‌
A third person begged: 'MAKE THEM BIGGER' and a fourth said: 'A thing of beauty.' Someone else commented: 'The best chocolate!!' While another joked: 'Wow I watched this 1484838 times.'
Another fan shared: 'I think cream eggs should be available all year round!!' And another said: 'I just need a lifetime supply please.'
Someone else simply added: 'Oh wow,' while others tagged their friends to direct them to the post.

Cadbury's is an iconic British chocolatier that was founded in 1824. Over the years, it's gone on to become one of the most famous confectionery brands in the world.
Cadbury's is operational in 50 countries across the globe, with some of its most beloved products including the Dairy Milk, its festive Roses selection tins which come out every winter and, of course, the Creme Egg.
The Creme Egg is said to have originated by the British chocolatier Fry's in 1963 before being renamed by Cadbury's in 1971.
They used to be made with Dairy Milk chocolate for the thick shell but in 2016, Cadbury's made the controversial decision to switch to a cheaper, standardised formula, much to the dismay of Creme Egg fans.
