Cadbury launches hidden white chocolate Creme Eggs with cash prizes

The eggs will be packaged in the standard Creme Egg wrapping and stacked with ordinary Creme Eggs. Mondelez has not said how many white eggs will be made available, but the number to be around 371.

Anyone finding an egg will win a cash prize of up to £1,000. They are on sale now and up to Easter Sunday, which this year is on 1 April.

But John Cadbury's great-great-great-great-granddaughter, Esther McConnell, pointed out that as a Quaker, he didn't celebrate Easter - while the brand defended itself by pointing out that Easter was referred to in much of its packaging and marketing.
