Cadbury fans amazed after seeing real way Creme Eggs are made
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.

Old Crunchie wrapper at Cambridge library whets appetite of online sleuths
Online sleuths have set about trying to guess the exact age of a Crunchie wrapper that was found in a library – with a few crumbs left inside. A worker at Cambridge University Library made the discovery last week while taking down some bookshelves, with the university saying it was probably stashed behind some books and fell down behind. The orange packaging and the price of sixpence indicates that it was produced before 1971, when decimalisation was introduced. But the precise date is the source of online guesswork, with Facebook and X users quick to share theories. One gave an estimate of between late 1965 and early 1967, noting that the 'bigger, same price' promotion written on the wrapper, with the bar priced at '6d', was announced in September 1965. 'In July 1966, Fry's had to pay a £300 fine after Oxford weights and measures inspectors determined that earlier bars had actually been bigger than the new 'bigger' bars. And by mid-1967 the list price was 7d,' they said. Others dated the wrapper back to the 1950s, with one user sharing a Fry's poster from that era that advertised the chocolate bar at 6d. The Crunchie, a chocolate bar with a honeycomb filling, became part of the Cadbury's range in 1988, 59 years after it was introduced by Fry and Sons. A tongue in cheek Facebook post by the library asked the culprit to 'fess up' if they remembered e hiding the wrapper among the books. Lizzie Woodman, the library's social media coordinator, said: 'The workman wasn't expecting to find anything like that. It was in such good condition. It looked like it had been put there yesterday.' Cambridge has one of the world's oldest university libraries. With it housing a physical collection of nearly 10m books, maps, manuscripts, photographs and objects, it was fairly usual to find remnants from the past, Woodman said. 'With millions of books and nearly 130 miles of bookshelves, it's not surprising that things sometimes stay hidden for so long,' said Woodman.

Library Crunchie muncher sought for 'relic' wrapper
Cambridge University Library Workmen dismantling shelves at Cambridge University Library got a sweet surprise when out fluttered an old chocolate bar wrapper from at least 50 years ago. The orange wrapper of the Crunchie bar - made at the time by confectioner Fry's - had a pre-decimalisation (which took place in 1971) price of 6d emblazoned on it. There were still some crumbs inside the wrapper, said Lizzie Woodman, the library's social media co-ordinator. Posting about the vintage find of the "chocolate relic", the library asked the culprit to "fess up" if they remembered munching the Crunchie and discarding the wrapper decades ago. The Crunchie, a chocolate-covered honeycomb bar, was first introduced by Fry and Sons in 1929 and later became part of Cadbury's range. The wrinkled wrapper was found as shelves were being taken apart at the University Library earlier this month. Printing on it dates the confectionary to before decimalisation was introduced in the UK. This particular bar, which claimed to be "bigger" for the "same price", would have set its sweet-toothed bookworm back 6d - or six pennies - or a sixpence. On 14 February 1971 there were 12 pennies to the shilling and 20 shillings to the pound. The following day the pound was made up of 100 new pence. 'Fascinating reminders' Posting on Facebook, X and Instagram, the university wrote: "OK, it's time to 'fess up. Who ate a Fry's Crunchie bar in the UL and hid the wrapper behind some books? "Mark in our facilities team got a surprise when he unearthed this chocolate relic recently. Who can help us date it?" The mystery muncher of the Crunchie has not yet owned up to discarding the wrapper, but the image has been well-received by fans of both chocolate and the library. Comments have included asking how often books are taken out and shelves are cleared, to which the library said it was home to nearly ten million books and other items. Ms Woodman said: "Sometimes we find fascinating reminders left behind by past members of the library. "The wrapper had been stashed behind some books and then fallen down the back of the shelves so it was trapped under the bookshelf, meaning it could stay hidden for over 50 years." She added: "With millions of books and more than 205km (127 miles) of bookshelves, it's hardly surprising that things sometimes stay hidden for so long." The post encouraged some people to begin researching the history of the popular sweet treat in an attempt to date the wrapper, with opinions varying from the 1950s to the late 1960s. It has further prompted memories of buying sweets before decimalisation was introduced and just how many "fruit salad" chews could be purchased with 6d of pocket money at the time. The BBC has asked Cadbury's to comment on the find. Follow Cambridgeshire news on BBC Sounds, Facebook, Instagram and X. Libraries History University of Cambridge Cambridgeshire Chocolate
