Cadbury Creme Egg (originally named Fry's Creme Egg) is a chocolate confection produced in the shape of an egg. It originated from the British chocolatier Fry's in 1963 before being renamed by Cadbury in 1971. The product consists of a thick chocolate shell containing a sweet white and yellow filling that resembles fondant. The filling mimics the albumen and yolk of a soft boiled egg.
The confectionery is produced by Cadbury in the United Kingdom, by The Hershey Company in the United States, and by Mondelez International in Canada.
