The Cadbury Creme Egg is a category of candy all to itself. While you can get versions for other holidays (the Cadbury *Screme* Egg, for example), this fondant-filled chocolate egg is almost exclusively associated with Easter.

If you’re old enough, you grew up seeing [the Cadbury Creme Egg commercial on TV](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUbSYzAW4cM&ref=theomnicosm.com). (There’s a good chance that tortoise is still alive, right?) The Cadbury Creme Egg is extremely reliable. It’s always there, sitting in the seasonal aisle of CVS or hanging out in displays by the checkout at the grocery store. 

The Cadbury Creme Egg pioneered chocolate candy in the shape of an egg. You can get a Reese’s Egg and an Oreo Egg at this time of year. And now in 2026, you can get a bag full of **Cadbury Mini Creme Eggs**. (And **Cadbury Mini Caramel Eggs**.)

Hershey’s is rolling out the bags of Mini Eggs this Easter season, with the first wave now showing up in stores.

### The thoughts

I definitely love a Cadbury Creme Egg. When my now wife and I started dating, we worked at the same place and there was a CVS in the lobby of our office building. While Easter candy was in season, I’d pick up a Cadbury Creme Egg for her and leave it on her desk for when she was back in the office. Even to this day, we don’t think twice about tossing one of the chocolate eggs into our cart when we find them in the store.

Cadbury Mini Creme Eggs and Cadbury Mini Caramel Eggs aren’t new. They’ve been available in packs for a while now, but Hershey’s selling bags full of them could’ve revolutionized how easy it is to eat Mini Eggs by the handful and by the bagful.

I was shocked to open my first bag of Cadbury Mini Creme Eggs only to discover that there are a measly nine Mini Eggs in these bags. My dreams of unwrapping egg after egg after egg until I had a pile of foil wrappers was, well, foiled. I wanted to eat these like a bag of Reese’s Mini Unwrapped, but that dream was over.

Cadbury Mini Creme Eggs are wildly snackable — the perfect bite of chocolate and fondant or caramel — but the promise of these new bags falls flat. This one would’ve earned a perfect Snack Score had Hershey’s been a bit more generous.
