How to find a £10,000 half white/half milk chocolate Cadbury Creme Egg without opening it

Cadbury Creme Egg season has officially launched (yes, I know it’s only January!), and their egg hunt competition is back.

The chance of finding a half-white/half-milk chocolate Cadbury Creme Egg is slim, but you’ll win up to £10,000 if you do!

You can’t walk into any old shop and buy a half-white/half-milk chocolate Cadbury Creme Egg.

In previous years, you were hunting for a white chocolate egg or a gold egg, but that’s all change for 2022.

To celebrate more than 50 years of the Cream Egg, the colour has changed and there are hundreds of them hidden around the country.

While the idea of getting some chocolate may be exciting enough, if you happen to come across one, you could win prizes ranging from £50 up to £10,000!

The half-white/half-milk chocolate Cadbury Creme Eggs are hidden in supermarkets and independent stores around the UK.

I’m starting to feel a bit like Charlie Bucket hunting for a golden ticket!

What do you do if you find a gold egg?

If you’ve managed to find a gold Cadbury Creme Egg then, firstly, well done!

Now, try everything in your power to NOT eat it!!

I’m not joking!

Their terms and conditions say you can’t eat it and you may need to take a photo of you not eating your egg.

Inside the foil, there will be a voucher with a phone number. You need to call them during office hours to claim your cash prize.

You need to make sure to keep the voucher and the packaging as they need it to validate your claim. You will also need to tell them which store you bought it from and where it’s based.

All prize claims must be received by 17th June 2022 so if you have a load of eggs stashed away for later in the year, it may be worth catching a glimpse under the foil sooner rather than later!

On the other hand, you could just hold on to it and hope it’s worth more in the future. A Cadbury’s gold egg sold for £6,500 at auction in 2018, although it was 22ct gold, rather than chocolate.

Eeew – haven’t they been touched?

In 2018, cash-hungry egg hunters weren’t playing very fairly, which may well have put people off from trying again this year.

There were loads of reports of people unwrapping the eggs while still in the store, trying to hunt down a white egg.

Now, this is unhygienic and is just a waste of perfectly good eggs!

How to find a gold egg without unwrapping it

The winning chocolate creme eggs are packaged the same way as normal eggs, making it hard to tell one from the other.

It’s all about what’s on the outside of the egg.

If you look at the packaging, there’s an obvious telltale sign – the ingredients.

Exactly the same as when we hunted for white chocolate eggs in previous years, very simply put, the chocolate egg has “white” in the ingredients list.

Metro made the discovery before.

We gave @cjrutter a @CadburyUK white creme egg and she made a HUGE discovery.

You have until January 9th to find one and be in with a chance of winning £2000. Happy hunting! 🥚🐣 pic.twitter.com/cYCAyZOVcv

I was considering writing more about Creme Eggs … but … I’ve just got to nip to the shops.

Good luck!
