Our waistlines have barely recovered from Christmas but that hasn’t stopped Cadbury from dropping an exciting new product ahead of Easter.
The confectionary giant has released a variation of the iconic festive treat – the Creme Egg – and it’s apparently found in the freezer section
Creme Egg Cakes cost $5 for four individual cakes and after being spotted in Coles, there’s been a lot of excitement.
According to the box, shared by TikTok user @deficitincalories, the tasty treat is a chocolate flavoured sponge layered with white and yellow fondants and covered in milk chocolate and decorated with milk chocolate drops. YUM.
“This is the new snack you must try at Coles. It’s in the ice cream freezer section,” the TikTok account said. “At 145 calories, it’s the perfect treat.”
While social media users frothed with delight over the new Creme Egg item, some asked why a “cake” was in the freezer.
Despite the confusion, many said they had bought already and loved.
“I have eaten 2 of mine already. Time to buy another few boxes,” one said on Facebook.
“Well, there goes my diet,” another wrote.
“Looks like I’m going shopping to Coles,” someone else added.
While the item is new in Australia, it appears to have launched in the UK last year to mixed reviews.
Some loved the Cadbury creation, writing it had “so much more filling than expected” while others described the cake as “too dry and extremely dense”.
A photo shared by British Facebook page Snack News & Reviews last February shows the cakes cut in half, with lines of fondant swirled through, as the classic Creme Egg ‘yolk’ appears to be oozing out.

“These cakes are delicious,” another chipped in.
Earlier this year Cadbury celebrated its 100th birthday in Australia with the brand revealing to news.com.au there are bars coming off its Tasmanian-based conveyor belt we’re unlikely to ever see.
