Cadbury Creme Egg (originally named Fry's Creme Egg) is a chocolate confection produced in the shape of an egg. It was launched by the British chocolatier Fry's in 1963 before being renamed under sister brand Cadbury's in 1971. The product consists of a thick chocolate shell containing a sweet white and yellow fondant filling. The filling mimics the egg white and yolk of a soft boiled egg.
The confectionery is produced by Cadbury in the United Kingdom, under licence by The Hershey Company in the United States, and by Cadbury's parent company, Mondelez International in Canada. The eggs were previously manufactured in New Zealand by Cadbury's for the antipodean market, but are now imported from the United Kingdom.
