About this deal

We’ve made a few changes to reflect this and think our 2023 line-up is egg-cellent, even if we do say so ourselves!" The confectionary giant has been called out for a series of sneaky tweaks, all of which ultimately mean you get less chocolate for your money. The Dairy Milk Caramel egg, the Crunchie egg and the Twirl egg have also shrunk in size, while the Dairy Milk Buttons egg has gone down in weight and up in price. The Traditional Gift Shell Eggs are a new part of the range for 2023, replacing the Large Shell Eggs. There are eight different eggs available as part of the Traditional Gift Shell Eggs range, including Cadbury Creme Egg, Cadbury Dairy Milk Giant Buttons, Caramel, Twirl, Cadbury Mini Eggs, Crunchie, Twirl Orange and Wispa Easter eggs."

It feels particularly unfair to those on lower budgets, who are trying to keep everyone happy this Easter without breaking the bank." A Mondelez spokesperson said: “We’re constantly looking at ways to innovate our products while keeping the fan favourites that the nation knows and loves."

This year we’ve revamped our Easter egg range, offering a wide variety of sizes and price options for our Cadbury fans to choose from. Shrinkflation happens when consumer products get smaller in weight, size or quantity while their prices stay the same or even increase. Listen on Global Player: Spencer & Vogue.
