One baffled Twitter user wrote: “I have a huge problem weighing on my mind: what is the substance in the middle of a Creme Egg called? What is it? A goo?”.
Another chocolate lover asked: “I have a question. What is the goo made from in a Creme Egg?”.
Despite over 500 million Creme Eggs being consumed every year, it seems many people do not know what the ‘goo’ is.
So thankfully, the Daily Star has cleared up the matter.
Creme Eggs are quite rightly a favourite amongst those with a sweet tooth thanks to their unique taste.
What makes them so special is that the two chocolate shell halves are filled with a soft fondant.
The fondant is supposed to mimic the yolk and egg white of an actual egg, hence why the ‘goo’ is both white and yellow.
Just like the name would suggest, the ingredients actually contain dried egg whites.
According to Cadbury's official website, over 500 million Creme Eggs are made each year - with Brits enjoying the most. It says:
“Cadbury Creme Egg is the most popular and over 500 million Creme Eggs are made every year.”
