Creme egg pancakes

Fans of Cadbury Creme Eggs in the United Kingdom are in an uproar after finding out that the maker of the beloved treat recently changed the recipe. The popular Easter candies, filled with a "yolk" of yellow and white fondant, used to be made in the U.K. with Cadbury's signature Dairy Milk chocolate (the article doesn't mention what the rest of the world was getting.)

But beginning this year, the chocolate eggs are made with "a standard, traditional Cadbury milk chocolate," according to a spokeswoman for Mondelez International, a spinoff of Kraft Foods, which purchased Cadbury in 2010. The new formula is only for Cadbury eggs sold in the United Kingdom. Fans of the treats took to Twitter to express their outrage, with one irate person telling Cadbury "YOU MIGHT AS WELL HAVE JUST CANCELLED EASTER."

This is not Cadbury's first controversy of this year's creme-egg season: customers were displeased to learn that the quantity of eggs in each package was to be reduced from six to five. According to Cadbury, about 500 million creme eggs are made each year, with the majority of them consumed in the U.K.

The popular chocolate eggs have been used in many whimsical recipes like the Creme egg pancake stack from indexed blog Great British Chefs pictured above. If you wish to protest the change in the formula, you can always do so by making your own creme eggs.
