What is the filling in Cadbury Creme Eggs? ›

What the filling in a Cadbury Creme Egg is really made of has stunned social media users. According to Cadbury, it's actually fondant – made of sugar, milk, glucose, syrup, cocoa butter, invert sugar syrup, dried whey, vegetable fats and dried egg white.
