In a festive treat that fulfils a long-held consumer fantasy, Cadbury and Oreo have officially launched their much-anticipated collaboration: Cadbury Creme Egg Oreos. The biscuits hit UK shops just ahead of Christmas 2025, turning a viral April Fools' joke into a delicious reality.
From April Fools' Dream to Sweet Reality
The journey began back in April 2023, when Oreo posted a mocked-up image of Cadbury Creme Egg Oreos for April Fools' Day. The internet reaction was immediate and fervent, with hundreds of commenters pleading for the product to be made real, calling it the "perfect combination" of snacks. Fast forward to December 2025, and the brands, both owned by Mondelez International, have answered those calls.
The new biscuit combines the crunch and rich cocoa taste of an Oreo with the indulgent fondant filling of a Cadbury Creme Egg, complete with an extra layer of the iconic yolk-coloured centre. Given its corporate family ties, the product has been humorously nicknamed 'The Nepo Cookie'.
Public Reaction and Where to Find Them
Oreo confirmed the launch on Instagram, posting: ‘Finally made it out of the drafts @cadburyuk.’ The announcement was met with widespread excitement and disbelief from followers. Social media user @chappyscravings exclaimed, ‘Omg yes, I can’t wait. Oreo and Creme Egg together, my two favourites,’ while @avidmuffin simply declared, ‘FINALLY!! Yessss!’
Other early reactions have described the biscuits as "insane", "unreal", and "amazing", with one commenter, Mark Ball, joking he’d like to ‘live on these for the rest of [his] life’.
Nikita Yadav, Brand Manager for Oreo, stated: ‘The introduction of Oreo Creme Egg is the perfect pairing of two iconic brands to create a new snacking occasion at Easter. This limited-edition biscuit is set to drive excitement in the biscuit category.’
Shoppers have already spotted the new Oreos on shelves in discount retailers B&M and Home Bargains, with those who have sampled them reporting they are truly ‘amazing’.
Another New Creme Egg Innovation
This isn't the only new product reimagining the classic Creme Egg. Cadbury has also partnered with protein brand Grenade to launch a soft core protein bar. The bar features a centre of ‘fluffy protein dough’ and the signature yellow fondant, all wrapped in milk chocolate.
Grenade claims the bar contains 12 grams of protein and just two grams of sugar, describing it as a ‘true Creme Egg and protein smash-up’ that is ‘smooth, bold and unapologetically indulgent’. They herald it as the first in a new era of soft and satisfying protein bars.
This wave of innovation ensures that fans of the iconic Cadbury Creme Egg have more ways than ever to enjoy its unique taste, whether they're seeking a festive biscuit treat or a protein-packed snack.
